Knowing The Trojans
A Trojan is a malicious program misguided as some very

and are installed on a system without the User’s knowledge. Trojans
are malicious pieces of code used to install hacking software on a
target system and aid the Hacker in gaining and retaining access to
that system. Trojans and their counterparts are important pieces of
the Hacker’s tool-kit.
Trojans is a program that appears to perform a desirable and necessary function but that, because of hidden and unauthorized code, performs functions unknown and unwanted by the user. These downloads are fake programs which seems to be a original application, it may be a software like monitoring program, system virus scanners, registry cleaners, computer system optimizers, or they may be applications like songs, pictures, screen savers, videos, etc..
• You just need to execute that software or application, you will find the application running or you mightget an error, but once executed the Trojan will install itself in the system automatically.
• Once installed on a system, the program then has system-level access on the target system, where it can be destructive and insidious. They can cause data theft and loss, and system crashes or slowdowns; they can also be used as launching points for other attacks against your system.
• Many Trojans are used to manipulate files on the victim computer, manage processes, remotely run commands, intercept keystrokes, watch screen images, and restart or shut down infected hosts.
