Welcome to the Against Trojan Horses Campaign! If you have any feelings against these viruses, please put a button on your site!!

Welcome to the ATHC!! We're trying to stop people putting up ads that get Trojan horses on our computers by putting up buttons!! We're hoping, as Step 1 in our plan, that if a lot of people put up buttons saying to stop the Trojan horses, maybe a person that's related to or a government official and they'll do something about it!! So, if you're interested, then put up a button! The buttons are located on the button page. You can find our objectives and goals on the ATHC page. This site's information can be found on the About page. Please help us put a stop to Trojan horses!!

 

 

What exactly is a Trojan horse?

A Trojan horse a destructive program that masquerades as a benign application. Unlike viruses, Trojan horses do not replicate themselves but they can be just as destructive. One of the most insidious types of Trojan horse is a program that claims to rid your computer of viruses but instead introduces viruses onto your computer.

The term comes from the a Greek story of the Trojan War, in which the Greeks give a giant wooden horse to their foes, the Trojans, ostensibly as a peace offering. But after the Trojans drag the horse inside their city walls, Greek soldiers sneak out of the horse's hollow belly and open the city gates, allowing their compatriots to pour in and capture Troy.
