Trojans
(I'm feeling worried)


A trojan is  a program that appears desirable, but actually contains something harmful. If you are surfing the internet and come across a video or mp3 that tells you that you need to download a codec to view, please DONT, this is a method of how trojans get on your computer. Most varieties of Trojan horses are hidden on the computer without the user's awareness. Trojan horses sometimes use the Registry, adding entries that cause programs to run every time the computer boots up. Trojan horses may also work by combining with legitimate files on the computer. When the legitimate file is opened, the Trojan horse opens as well. Since Trojan horses have a variety of forms, there is no single method to delete them. The simplest responses involve clearing the temporary internet files on a computer, or finding the file and deleting it manually ( safe mode is recommended ). Normally, anti-virus software is able to detect and remove the trojan automatically. If the antivirus cannot find it, booting the computer from alternate media(cd) may allow an antivirus program to find a trojan and delete it. Updated anti-spyware programs are also very efficient against this threat.

Great info Bren. We got new software recently and it found all kinds of crap. It's sad that we have to be so careful but I'm glad the info on how to protect ourselves is so readily available. dana
