Trojan
| Trojan malware is a type of malicious software that tricks victims by appearing to be legitimate. Trojans can be used to steal personal information, install other forms of malware, or allow attackers to gain access to a victim's device. Trojans are often spread through email attachments or links to malicious websites. Once a Trojan is installed on a victim's device, it can be difficult to remove. There are many different types of Trojans, and they can vary in their severity. Some Trojans are designed to simply steal information, while others can allow attackers to take control of a victim's device. The most dangerous Trojans can give attackers the ability to spy on victims, or even delete or modify files on their device. Trojan malware is a serious threat, and victims should take care to protect themselves from it. One way to protect yourself from Trojans is to only download files and click on links from trusted sources. You should also install and use a reputable anti-malware program to scan files and links before you open them. If you think you may have been infected with a Trojan, you should run a scan with your anti-malware program and then contact a professional for help. |
