Trojan Horse Protection

A Trojan Horse, often referred to as just a Trojan, is a program which purports to do one thing, but actually does another. Not always damaging or malicious, they are often associated with things like deleting files, overwriting hard-drives, or being used to provide remote access to a system for an attacker. Classical Trojans include keyloggers being delivered as game files, or file deleters masquerading as useful utilities. Trojans can be used for many purposes including

• Remote Access (sometimes called Remote Access Tools or RAT's, or Backdoors)
• Keylogging and password stealing (Most spyware falls into this category)
