| 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.
