Dude. What?
1) Putting a trojan in a zip file just means that the person has to decompress it before they can run it. It doesn't bypass any kind of security, and arguably makes it even
less likely that the victim will infect themselves.
2) Firewalls don't prevent the installation of trojans anyway; they merely block their incoming/outgoing messages.

The more experienced hackers mask the title of the program, Like there can be a omgcoolsong.mp3 which is a Trojan.

Wha? Files with a .mp3 extension are interpreted by media players, they are never executed as machine code.

OR they can merge two files together so when you open it, it'll open a file but the Trojan is at work behind it.
|
Sure, but that'll only work if the file is an executable, and the only benefit they gain is that the user doesn't become suspicious.

When you open a Trojan then it makes your computer go "Hey, anything coming from this port is friendly so I should let them in".
|
No it doesn't. It provides a server that recieves and interprets incoming signals and follows the commands therein. It doesn't make your computer
believe anything. I don't think you're clear on what a port actually is. It's not a hole through which people tell your OS to do stuff.

And of coarse, they cant implant spywares and virii.

Yet they can.

Sometimes deleting the Trojan isn't enough.

Yes it is, if you delete all instances of it.
