No it's not, a trojan horse is something bad disguised as something
good, and that's all there is to it.
Trojan horses can include a backdoor or some spyware or whatever, but
the term "trojan horse" only describes the delivery method (someone
pointed out this before),
so please stop this semantic crap.
Thank you.-
