About Trojans
January 18th, 2009
Unwanted software which runs in a user’s machine, as an agent of the attacker, without user awareness. Unlike viruses and worms, trojans do not replicate (make copies of themselves.) We classify some pests simply as “Trojan”. Others are more precisely classified as ANSI Bomb, AOL Pest, Annoyance, DDoS, Dialer, DoS, Dropper, Hostile ActiveX, Hostile Java, Hostile Script, Key Logger, Loader, Password Capture, RAT, Spyware, Trojan, War Dialer, and Worms.
You can buy software to do the job, pay from $20 to $60:
iSpyNOW, PestPatrol, SpyBuddy. Or for FREE SpyBot Search and Destroy, Spyware Terminator, and Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware
