What was so amazing about the outcome of the Trojan war?

One of the most amazing aspects of the outcome of the Trojan War is the use of the Trojan Horse. This deceptive tactic allowed the Greek army to enter the seemingly impenetrable city of Troy, leading to its ultimate downfall. The story of the Trojan Horse has since become a symbol of cunning and deceit.


What did Trojan Hores die for?

Possibly you mean the 'Trojan Horse', which was a huge wooden model of a horse in which the Greeks concealed soldiers in order to capture Troy. So, since the Trojan Horse was only a model, it wasn't alive, thus couldn't die.


What did Troy do with the Trojan horse?

The legend is that they took it inside their city, not knowing there were Greek warriors inside it, and that night they opened the gates to let in the Greek armies. Since then 'trojan horse' is an expression for sneaking in a disruptive element, as in computing.


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".

How do you say goodbye to a horse?

A horse won't understand what you are saying to them, so it doesn't matter. Saying goodbye is more for your benefit, not theirs. If you fear you may become emotional, it is best to skip saying anything at all, since crying may upset the horse.
