True or False, Malicious software that contain code intended to disrupt a computer, network, or Web site is called a Trojan Program.

Analysis of the Statement

1. Definition of Malicious Software: Malicious software, commonly referred to as malware, encompasses various harmful programs designed to damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems.

2. Types of Malware:

   • Virus: Attaches itself to clean files and spreads throughout a computer system.
   • Worm: Replicates itself to spread to other computers, often without needing to attach to a file.
   • Trojan Horse: Disguises itself as a legitimate software to trick users into installing it, but its purpose is often to create a backdoor for attackers rather than to disrupt systems directly.
   • Ransomware: Locks users out of their systems or files until a ransom is paid.

3. Specifics of Trojan Programs: A Trojan, named after the famous Greek myth, does not inherently aim to disrupt; it's designed to deceive users by appearing legitimate, and may allow unauthorized access to the user's system.

Conclusion

The statement claims that a Trojan Program is malicious software intended to disrupt a computer, network, or website. This is incorrect because while Trojans can cause harm and allow disruption indirectly by providing unauthorized access to attackers, their primary characteristic is deception rather than direct disruption.

Final Answer

False. A Trojan Program is designed to deceive, rather than primarily disrupt systems.
