A trojan horse is a program which does not only what it is expected to
do,
but something other. A classic trojan horse is the MSN-Support of
Windows 95
which sends out registry information when you connect to msn. 

An example of a trojan could be an e-mail program which sends your
passwords
onto the net. Another example is a program which changes permissions on
certain
files when executed by root to get a suid-root shell (on unix, that is).

Have a nice day
