Do you think you are safe with all the latest technology and outstanding anti-malwares? Unfortunately, majority of antivirus software cannot deal with all the viruses and spywares. Trojans virus is mutating day by day, and it’s not an easy task for researchers and developers to develop new software over night to battle against it. It’s an ongoing war between good guys and bad guys.
Like Worms, spywares and other kind of viruses, Trojan viruses are also infecting computers on a very large scale. From domestic users to big networks of computers, everywhere, people are facing the same problem.
Trojan or a new face of online terror
I. What it’s all about?
A Trojan is a very common virus threat, which is also known as Trojan horse. It is basically the software, which is designed to steal data or damage your PC. Trojan is a very lethal virus and can provide a hacker with very safe intrusion. Through this virus, a hacker can have remote access to your computer. Unfortunately, Trojan infection is on the rise and more than 83% of global computer users complain about this software. It can work very well with other Worms and can spread easily with them on the wide surface of global internet communication.
II. How Trojans ruins your system?
By keystroke logging
- Through deletion of files
- Via monitoring user’s screen
- By computer crash
- Via internet viewing
- Through uploading or Downloading files on PC
Don’t get infected
It can easily spread to a big network of computers through internet. It is one the most dangerous executable programs. Mostly, Trojan viruses have risky and suspicious file extensions. To avoid such risks, it is recommended that you should completely unhide file extensions.
The easiest way for a Trojan horse to infect your PC is through free games, free movies, free songs and other “FREE” stuff. Mostly, dumb people use to download files from different free sites (mostly FTB or WWW) and let the Trojan invade their PCs. Similarly, opening suspicious mails, instant messaging and using IRC can ruin your PC.
How you come to know?
Early signs of a Trojan infection can be as other PC users complain about your system of spreading a “Trojan virus disease”. It’s proven that whenever a computer user carelessly handles e-mails and downloads files from suspicious sites, the chances of infection gets higher.
Master of disguise
Trojans are just like normal software and if you are not a computer geek, then it’s hard to make a difference. Usually, it takes a refuge into your PC by some other application or software, which you may conceive as some antivirus or some useful virus detector. Trojan horses are not able to replicate or make copies of them, but still, they are dangerous as they can provide a hacker the backdoor or secret entry into your so-called safe computer.
A good coalition partner
Trojan horse virus is able enough to make a good coalition with other worms and viruses. Initially, a Trojan horse virus shows itself as very useful software, but soon it starts damaging your system. Mostly, people get trapped by this software, as in the beginning, it is just like useful software, which they consider should be downloaded for better performance of your PC, but sooner or later such Trojan horses take control of your system without your consent.
