| Trojan horses are the most dangerous
threats to your computer files and your confidential information such as your
passwords, credit card data and personal correspondence. A Trojan is a program
installed on your computer that gives full access to hackers. The same Trojan
can be used secretly by many hackers. It’s not just one Trojan to one
hacker. It’s one Trojan to many hackers.
A Trojan on your computer can let a hacker view, copy or erase any folder
and any file on your computer just as though he or she were sitting at your
computer using its keyboard and mouse. Any file on your computer can also be
sent to any e-mail address or posted on the Internet. There are many ways a
system can be infected with a Trojan and because a Trojan is not the same as a
virus (a self-replicating program segment) it is not always detected by
anti-virus software. |
