How you Can Remove Virtumonde Quickly & Easily

A Trojan is a shortened handle for Trojan Horse. The name, as you've probably guessed, hails from Homer's Iliad wherein Odysseus concocts a plan to defeat the Trojans by building a giant horse and stashing armed warriors inside. Once presented to the king of Troy as a gesture of surrender, the horse is brought into the city. The analogy to this type of Malware is highly apt. Trojans are malicious programs that are always attached to something legitimate. The user unwittingly downloads the game, or music, or even the rogue anti-Spyware utility, and then the Trojan that was unseen will go to work.

Any malicious program that doesn't want to be heard or seen is usually classified as a type of Trojan. That being said, there are lots of types of Trojans that have various goals. Some Trojans install Spyware; some turn your computer into a Proxy, a launchpad for spam; some install Adware; and some even open a Backdoor on your computer. This is an access point for someone to come in and literally take control of all your computer's functions and data. Although Trojans do not replicate themselves like worms, the payloads they unleash can be just as damaging.
