A Trojan Horse program is designed to masquerade as a legit program in order to trick a user into downloading and running it. Most of the time, the Trojan Horse will provide the desired program, such as a game or music file, so as to avoid suspicion, but it runs malicious processes in the background. A Trojan Horse can do a number of things. Some come with a built-in keylogger so it can record keystrokes that allows a hacker to steal usernames and passwords. Others usually open a backdoor on the computer so it can download more malware off of the internet.
