When was the Trojan Horse computer Virus created and by who?
"Trojan Horse" does not refer to a specific computer virus, rather it refers to a particular characteristic of some computer malware. A Trojan Horse or Trojan is a bit of software that masquerades as legitimate software but contains hidden malware. It takes its name from the Greek tale from the Trojan War where the Greeks left a big wooden horse outside the gates of Troy with a bunch of Greek soldiers hidden inside. Just like the Greeks used their "Trojan Horse" to trick the Trojans into bringing them inside their defenses, Trojan malware tries to trick users into bringing the malware inside their computer defenses where it can then do its dirty work - such as (but not limited to) data theft, installing backdoors, turning the user's computer into a zombie in a botnet, trashing the computer. Since "Trojan Horse" only refers to a characteristic and not a specific virus, it is impossible to assign an actual date or perpetrator to it. It should also be understood that a Trojan is not really a virus. A virus replicates itself without user intervention, whereas a Trojan relies on tricking a user into downloading it. According to a survey conducted by BitDefender from January to June 2009, "Trojan-type malware is on the rise, accounting for 83-percent of the global malware detected in the world".
Why are some computer viruses called Trojan horses?
A trojan horse is a type of malware that can deal damage to your data and your computer, and not really a "virus". Trojan horses get their name from the works of Homer that describes of the military strategy used against the Trojans in the Trojan War. The Greeks used a wooden horse filled with a small contingency of troops inside as a "gift". Once inside, the hidden troops will infiltrate and attack from the inside.
Trojan horse metaphor meaning?

Similarly, a Trojan Horse or Trojan virus is a program or file (like a game) we might want on our computer. It is downloaded, installed and run. The program may do as expected, or not, but it will also embed itself as maleware doing things on the computer we would not want.

Why did they call it a Trojan Virus?
They call it a Trojan Virus because during the Trojan War in Greece, the Trojans created a wooden horse to trick their enemies, the Greeks. The horse is a gift from the Sea God, Poseidon. Seeing this, they marveled and took it inside their walls, then, in the dead of night, the Trojans, who were in the horse, attacked Greece, causing the fall of that city. The Trojan Virus does the same thing, it looks like something you might be interested in, but really, it's a virus. Hence the name "Trojan" because they invaded using a horse. It looked like one thing, but was another.
