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.
