Guide to Trojans - Trojan Horse Malware

Trojans are pieces of malware which install on your computer without your knowledge. A Trojan, or Trojan Horse, is installed along a seemingly legitimate program which performs a desirable function. Often, Trojans are inserted into these programs by hackers and then made available by means of free download or file sharing.

The malicious purposes of Trojans vary greatly. They can spy on your password or PIN numbers and phone home for example, yet the only common denominator for these pieces of malware is that you didn’t want to install them, are likely unaware of their presence, and that they carry out some malicious or dangerous action on your computer.

Here you find all you want to know to prevent Trojans or get rid of them including the best tools and free software.
