Trojan Horse
Trojan Horse:
A Trojan Horse is a virus that appears as a helpful and useful application. When you download a program to help you to do some different thing on internet such as to download faster, “find out” people’s passwords, cheat on games and even have a “special” Anti-virus, you can’t see but Trojan Horses are included in these software as a “special packed” able to destroy your computer really fast. What people don’t know in most of the time is that a Trojan Horse is not a software that just hacks and steals people’s passwords, it is also able to create a “backdoor” or a “trapdoor,” which can be used to send your personal information to another location. To protect your system from a Trojan horse, extensive anti-virus software is a good first step, and also make sure that your Anti-virus is able to scan your email account, since people whom were already infected will probably send you a “surprise” (if you get what I mean).
