    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.-
