@FortiGuardLabs tells about the #Trojan Virus possibly-infecting the #AutoSurfTraffic-exchange | @Wikimedia @avgFree

When I use AutoSurfTraffic's auto-surf, my AVG-program tells me that AST's page is trying to load a 'well-known' Trojan.

'That word' (below-hyperlinked to FortiGuard Labs' report on the computer-virus) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The word “Trojan” (a virus that–like the ancient Greeks' Trojan Horse in the Trojan War–presents itself as a harmless file, but contains malicious code that causes errors when the file is opened ... abbreviated #Trj) means "of the City of #Troy." 

The city "Troy" was named after its 'legendary' (i.e. probably-real, but with "mythical" facts mixed-in (like with George Washington or Theodore Roosevelt)) founder #Tros (Τρώς, who wanted to name the city "Ilion," after his son Ilus, and who is an ancestor of Romulus & Remus). 

The name "Tros" might be built on ancient words that mean "a |Thyrsus (a |Wand wrapped in Ivy and topped by a |Pine-Cone, carried by a Devotee of |Dionysus), |Stick, Branch, |Rod" (θύρσος (thúrsos)).
