Trojan Help.

[GrubMe]

If you have any questions ask me.
I made this thread just for people who are curious about trojans and how to prevent them, attack ports, and even how to identify a trojan.

Anyways come to this link.

Trojan List

Just tell me what you think.

How do I identify a trojan?

[GrubMe]

Trojans are executable programs, which means that when you open the file, it will perform some action(s). In Windows, executable programs have file extensions like "exe", "vbs", "com", "bat", etc.

*Beware of hidden file extensions! Windows by default hides the last extension of a file, so that innocuous-looking "susie.jpg" might really be "susie.jpg.exe" - an executable trojan! To reduce the chances of being tricked, unhide those pesky extensions.

If you do not know what is a Windows file extention. Here is a link to show what is a Windows File Extention and how to configure it. Note: Be careful what you configure, you need Acrobat 5.0 and up to read. *Windows 2000, 98, XP (Approved)*

Wow! An innocent looking picture can really be a trojan?

What would happen if I executed a trojan infected file?

*Don't be lulled into a false sense of security just because you run anti-virus programs. Those do not protect perfectly against many viruses and trojans, even when fully up to date. Anti-virus programs should not be your front line of security, but instead they serve as a backup in case something sneaks onto your computer.
Finally, don't download an executable program just to "check it out" - if it's a trojan, the first time you run it, you're already infected!

Thanks for all the info GrubMe&#33; Trojans for sure are nasty these days. It might just come in handy for the one&#39;s that are not aware of. The only weird thing is only those open these kind of threads who already are well versed about this
