TROJANS: WHAT ARE THEY AND HOW TO REMOVE THEM

-

Trojans are a particular form of malware that appears to be legitimate, and claims to be, but actually contains malicious software such as "password thieves", "file encryptors", "backdoor installers" and so on.

Just like in the legend, the Trojan horse allowed Greek soldiers to stealthily enter the Trojan city, so the Trojan malware enters your computer fraudulently, causing you to install software that is not only apparently not harmful, but actually does pretends to be useful.

There are many examples of Trojans, both for mobile phones (many apps that pretend to be clones of Angry Birds are actually Trojans), and for PCs, where there are many Trojan viruses that pretend to be "disk cleaners", "repairers of files ”, or even for free antivirus.

Fortunately for you, Protegent antivirus software is capable of intercepting Trojan-type viruses.

about trojan and its removal
Since Trojans are spread through “social engineering”, you should be aware of the various types of Trojans out there.

Below I report the most “active” virus families in recent time:

Zbot Trojan

The Zeus Bot family of trojans is the largest of all. They were among the first to be sold "secretly" in the underground sites and forums that populate the undergrowth of the internet.

These are therefore viruses that can be bought (illegal activity) and customized according to your needs. The most common use of these viruses is to steal information such as checking account accounts, user profiles on social networks and email credentials, but they can also be used with profit to spread other viruses such as Crypto locker.

The main purpose of these viruses is to make money by demanding ransom money to return stolen data and / or encrypted files.

Vundo Trojan

The Vundo family of Trojans is often used in advertising for "fake" antivirus. To be able to install this type of virus on your computer, disable the Windows firewall or other antivirus software or disable Windows updates.

Also to have more control over what the user (i.e. you) is doing, this type of trojan installs DLL libraries or other objects that hook into the browser and force you to download unwanted software.

Reveton Trojan

It is the typical family that contains ransomware-type viruses, that is, those that ask for ransom.

How do they work? Often they bring up a screen on the PC screen complete with logos of political or police or security agencies with texts stating that the PC has been used for illegal purposes (downloading pirated software, child pornography or copyright infringement) and then ask for a cash ransom to allow the PC to continue working.

How to remove trojan viruses?

If you are running Protegent Antivirus on all your computers and devices, you will be safe.

Using antivirus software is essential for using in all your devices as it protects you from all the threats and fight against all odds.

Antivirus software will be detecting a trojan virus in your device if you have one and will automatically will fight with it and will throw it out from your device.

Secure Your Wi-Fi Network Wi-Fi is that the most convenient thanks to hook up with the web, especially if you would like to attach quite one device in your home. However, make sure your Wi-Fi network is secure. This involves: Using encryption, preferably Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) because it's the strongest. You should be ready to do that within the security settings. Change the router settings so that the SSID remains hidden and could not be found by potential hackers. Change the name of your network (the Service Set Identifier or SSID) so that hackers cannot guess the manufacturer of the router. Making sure to use a strong password to gain access to your network.

Beware Of Dangerous Links Sometimes your computer can get infected with a virus if you simply click on a w...

COMPANIES INTERNET SECURITY

The Internet today allows companies to break down many barriers. The first is the barrier to entry in relation to larger businesses. And it is that although a few years ago small companies were destined to a small growth and to advance with their products only to the market that was geographically closest to them, today an SME can literally compete as equals and sell anywhere in the world 24×7, with the same capacity. In fact, the trend in the medium term is the emergence of micro-multinationals, SMEs that focus on a global market. All can go out into the world. Using the internet in the company also facilitates teleworking and increases productivity within the company, making it efficient and turning its service into a remote one. That it can be handled from anywhere in the world, the trend indicates, that you must become independent of any ties right now. It seems like magic, but no, the internet is a tool that, well used, can be very beneficial for a company. Focus and find the be...
