What is a Trojan virus?
A virus that looks like a harmless and useful program but actually
contains a code that can destroy data or install adware or spyware on
your computer. Trojan viruses can be embedded in email attachments,
programs that have been downloaded, or even through operating system
vulnerabilities on your computer.
A recent tactic that hackers are using is to put the virus in pictures.
Never download anything you do not recognize. Unlike the regular
computer viruses Trojans do not replicate.
What does a Trojan virus do to your computer?
Trojan viruses can do much damage to your computer or worse, hackers can
read the files and personal information from your computer and steal
your identity. They can also add unwanted spyware and ad ware, deliver
unsolicited pop-ups and advertising, all without your consent.
So how can get rid of them?
Most if not all antivirus programs will detect and remove Trojans,
viruses and other unwanted programs from your computer automatically.
For e-mail attachments, you may have to scan them individually. There
are programs you can download that will do it automatically. There is
plenty of anti-virus software free and paid out there that can look at.
Payment programs usually have more features that can be used as a
registry cleaner.
Whatever your choice may be, make sure you have installed the latest
version, periodically perform system analysis, and updated with the
latest version to keep your computer protected.
One of the most evil and insidious things ever invented was the Trojan
virus. What person with dementia thought of this is beyond
comprehension. Trojan virus infiltrates your entire computer system and
affects its ability to quickly browse the Internet and in the worst
cases can cause the entire system to crash, permanently delete data
stored on your hard drive.
There are some steps you can take to the removal of Trojan viruses, to
save all your data and installed software. If you take your computer to a
repair shop or the Geek Squad you want to delete the entire hard drive
after saving valuable documents. After going to reinstall the operating
system software and make your computer virus free.
The problem with this method is that it is expensive, time consuming,
and you can never recover the installed applications. Unless you have
the original application software installation discs and registration
number to go with it, you have to buy new programs. That can reach
hundreds and even thousands of dollars if you have a lot of expensive
programs installed as Photoshop, Dreamweaver, InDesign, ProSeries, and
many others.
You can also simply download a virus cleaner and run it. That will solve
more problems and run the Trojan virus removal desired. If your
computer crashes or can not connect to the Internet, which happens a lot
with Trojan virus infections.
