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).
