Dear Jason Coombs,

Weel duh, no. In fact a Trojan Horse means that the program does other
things it indicates (ex: pretends to be a game runs a virus). What you refer
to is a backdoor. A backdoor can be a Trojan, and a Trojan can be a Backdoor,
but the link is not logicaly necessary.


Or in better English :
A computer trojan horse is a program which appears to be something good,
but actually conceals something bad.
