Trojan horse
trojan

    (Or just "trojan") A term coined by
   MIT-hacker-turned-NSA-spook Dan Edwards for a malicious,
   security-breaking program that is disguised as something
   benign, such as a directory lister, archiver, game or (in one
   notorious 1990 case on the Mac) a program to find and destroy
   viruses!  A Trojan horse is similar to a back door.
