Trojan, in the context of computing and software, is also called Trojan
horse. It is a class of computer threats that appears to be performing a
desirable function, but in fact the function performed is malicious and this
function allows unauthorized access to the host machine. It also gives them a
file saving capability even without the user's consent and also control of the
computer. You download them unwillingly through such programs as computer games,
which leave a door open when executed after payment by Trojan developers to do
so. Trojan enters through these doors and the example of a notorious Trojan is
waterfalls.scr which is disguised as a screen saver.
Trojans are classified according to their method of breach to computers and
they include those that remotely access your PC, those that destroy your data,
those that use denial-of-attack, software that disables security and finally
those that are downloaded into the PC in the normal manner.
To prevent protection, you must always be careful about the programs you
download and you should avoid those whose source and contents you are not sure
about and to avoid such files even when they are from friends. You should always
be on the lookout for hidden file extensions to keep off those that might be
Trojan and you should avoid features that automatically get or preview
files.
You should not be reckless just because you have an updated anti virus
because some Trojans have the ability of blind siding anti virus programs. There
are also Anti-Trojan programs that are dedicated to these infections and you can
also get rid of them through IRC Help Channels. Please visit http://www.spywareandadwareremovalsoftware.org.
