What is the effect of death of Hector in Trojan war?
It was pretty much the end of the war for the Trojans because it was believed that without a hero, like Achilles or Hector, that the war could not be won. Basically they believed that if the other side had a hero and you didn't that you wouldn't win.
How did the Trojan horse help the Trojans defeat the Greeks?
It didn't. The Trojan Horse was used by the Greeks to trick the Trojans, allowing the Greeks to breach the walls of Troy and sack the city. After a long series of battles around and in front of the city of Troy, the Greeks were unable to breach Troy's defenses, and were low on morale. The suggestion (attributed to Ulysses) was to use trickery rather than force to break into Troy. Thus, playing on the superstitions and beliefs of the Trojans, the Greeks built a large wooden sculpture in the shape of a horse, and left it on the beach, before sailing away, apparently abandoning the fight with Troy. According to legend, the Trojans saw this mighty horse as an offering by the Greeks to their Gods for a safe trip home. Counseled by priests that the best way to bring the Gods' favor to Troy instead of the Greeks was to bring the Horse into Troy for a celebration, the Trojans did so, and held a huge party. What they didn't know was that the Greeks had merely pretended to leave, sailing but a short distance away (a few dozen leagues). They had left a small band of soldiers hidden inside a secret compartment of the Horse. Late at night, when all the Trojans were asleep after their huge celebratory party, these soldiers slipped out, and overwhelmed the few city guards still awake. They then opened Troy's main city gates, where the entire rest of the Greek army had returned from the fake retreat, and was waiting for the gates to open. Thus, the Greeks gained access to Troy while it slept, and quickly massacred everyone they could. Now, of course, this whole tale is brought to us by (primarily) Homer, and is unknown if (or how much of) it is true. We know Troy existed, and that there was indeed a Trojan war, but how Troy was defeated is not known for a fact.

Why do the Achaeans took so long to defeat the Trojans?
We do not know much about the actual timing of the Trojan War, so this will focus on what is written in The Iliad and The Odyssey. The first issue is that the beachhead was difficult for the Greeks to take. The ground was strongly sloped and the Trojans had the high-ground. The second major issues is that Ancient Greeks did not have sophisticated siege weaponry, which meant that it was effectively impossible for them to breach the Trojan Walls surrounding the city until Odysseus came up with the idea of the Trojan Horse, which allowed for the Trojans to "self-breach" the city walls.
Why are some computer viruses called Trojans?
Hidden malicious programs (most are not viruses) are called "Trojans" from the story of the Trojan Horse, from the war between Greece and the city of Troy, as written in Virgil's Aeneidand referenced in Homer's The Odyssey. The trojan horse was a threat masquerading as a gift. Similarly, trojan programs seem innocuous, but are designed to damage your computer or use it for harmful purposes.---In the Trojan War, one side was the Greeks and the other was the people from Troy. They were fighting for this beautiful queen, Helen, wife of Menelaus. Eventually the Greeks saw that the Trojans were winning the war, so they devised a very clever plan: they would create a giant wooden horse (because the Trojans worshiped horses) and then leave it behind as they left, pretending to give up. The wooden horse would be a peace offering. The Trojans accepted it, took it into the city walls, and then they partied at night and got drunk. After the Trojans were sleeping, Greek soldiers hiding inside the hollow wooden horse got out and opened the city gates of Troy to let their much larger army inside. Because the Trojans were caught off guard and drunk, they had no choice but to surrender and the Greeks won the war.Trojan Horse programs work in the same way. They disguise themselves as legitimate programs or files. When you accept to download them, they infect your computer and run malicious processes in the background without you knowing. They often really do have the program that you intended to download, but they also come with a virus or something else to corrupt your computer. Hence the name, Trojan Horse or Trojan.

What is a Trojan horse in mythology?
The mythological Trojan Horse is so named for the tactic employed supposedly used by the Achaens (the collective name used by Homer for the Greeks) during the 10 year Trojan War to enter the city of Troy and defeat the Trojans. The Trojan War is the basis of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. The Trojan War began with Helen of Sparta being stolen from King Menelaus of Sparta by Paris of Troy. The walls of Troy were next to impossible to breach, and at that period in history, there were no siege machines or other such means of breaching walls. After many years of fighting, and the loss of such heroes as the Greeks' Achilles and Ajax, and the Trojans' Paris and Hector (Hector was killed by Achilles in single combat), the Greek Odysseus came up with a plan to get into the city. The plan called for the construction of a wooden horse with a hollow interior, in which a small number of Greek warriors could hide. The rest of the Greek army packed up and left on their ships, leaving the hollow horse on the beach as an offering to he Greek God Poseidon (God of the Sea, Horses and Earthquakes)for a safe journey home. The Trojans, upon finding the Greeks gone, brought the wooden horse into the city in order to offer it at the Temple of Poseidon. After much celebration, the Greeks inside the horse, after everyone was sleeping, slipped out of the inside of the horse quietly and opened the gates to the city of Troy. The Greek army had since sailed back to Troy and were waiting for a signal from the Greeks inside the city that they had opened the gates to the city. When the signal came, the Greeks invaded the city and slaughtered most of the Trojans. The women and children were made slaves. Although there are now many different interpretations of what the actual horse might have been, the most common reference is to a wooden hollow horse. Since then, any tactic employing the use of an enemy entering the stronghold of another by means off such a subterfuge is known as a Trojan Horse. Some computer viruses are even known as Trojan Horses, because they are viruses disguised as friendly programs. Although Troy and the Trojan War were thought to be the creations of Homer, the discovery in 1870 by German archaeologist Heinrich Schleimann of ruins on the actual site noted by Homer where Troy was supposed to have stood has led to speculation tha the Trojan War did in fact happen. The ancient Greeks believed that it was a real conflict that occurred in the 12th or 13th century B.C.
