HOW TO DETECT TROJAN ATTACK AND SOLUTION ?

TROJAN & SPYWARES

Now lets move on to another threat which not only harms your computer but has the potential to ruin your life. Confused!!!!!!!!!!

YES, I am talking about spywares. Spywares are malicious programs which instead of corrupting ( or infecting) your data, it steals it. REMEMBER this data can be anything ,not only your files but your passwords,credit card numbers or other banking details. And then after taking all your private data it sends it to unknown programmer, who can easily misuse the data. Now you get it what I meant by ruining your life thing.

Now lets get to know about Trojans. These malicious codes get there name from Legendary Trojan Horse which Greeks used in Troy. In similar fashion these programs come along unsuspecting files and destroy you and your computer in a same way as Greeks did to Troy (for further info of this legend go get the DVD of Troy movie, starring Brad Pitt). A trojan infection gives total remote access to your computer to third party.

I would say these are most dangerous programs as virus only deletes your data but these programs give away your data to third party. So take special care while dealing

My computer is infected with virus. HELP ?

Well its good at least you know that your computer is infected this is half battle won. Now try out these :-

# Install a good antivirus.
I would recommend go for AVAST ANTI-VIRUS. Its free and offers boot-time scan facility.

# UPDATE your anti-virus.
If you already have an anti-virus go immediately. Every minute a new virus is added by ' You Know Who' so to fight the menace be ready,informed and UPDATED.

# Scan your PC again. DELETE or Quarantine infected files depending on your descretion.

# IF nothing helps I am sorry to tell you its time to take a back-up and go for FORMATTING to avert further damage.

Although I must admit last step is THE WORST thing to go for but you don't have a choice. GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY YOUR PERSONNAL SETTINGS ( which are deleted because of formatiing) REST IN PEACE .
