A Trojan horse, or Trojan, in computing is a

generally non-self-replicating type
of malware program containing malicious
code that, when executed, carries out actions
determined by the nature of the Trojan,
typically causing loss or theft of data, and
possible system harm.
In computing, a mouse is a pointing
device that detects two-dimensional motion
relative to a surface.
A webcam is a video camera that feeds
or streams its image in real time to or through
a computer to computer network.
It is a Unix-like and mostly POSIXcompliant[8] computer operating
system assembled under the model of free
and open-source software development and
distribution.
A hard disk drive (HDD)[b] is a data storage
device used for storing and
retrieving digital information using rapidly
rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic
material.
