trozan virus---how harmfull?

Answer 1

it's trojan, and this type of virus can take control of your computer, even preventing it from starting. I would say high risk.

Answer 2

very harmful, according to any virus scan. if it was on a scale from 1-10, most of them would be between 7-10. trojans dont spread to other computers, but very harmful because it can lead to an identity theft. trojans simply just sit there waiting for you to enter any important information, if a certain program is opened.

Answer 3

Trojan horse attacks pose one of the most serious threats to computer security. If you were referred here, you may have not only been attacked but may also be attacking others unknowingly. This page will teach you how to avoid falling prey to them, and how to repair the damage if you already did. According to legend, the Greeks won the Trojan war by hiding in a huge, hollow wooden horse to sneak into the fortified city of Troy. In today's computer world, a Trojan horse is defined as a "malicious, security-breaking program that is disguised as something benign". For example, you download what appears to be a movie or music file, but when you click on it, you unleash a dangerous program that erases your disk, sends your credit card numbers and passwords to a stranger, or lets that stranger hijack your computer to commit illegal denial of service attacks like those that have virtually crippled the DALnet IRC network for months on end.

The following general information applies to all operating systems, but by far most of the damage is done to/with Windows users due to its vast popularity and many weaknesses.

Answer 4

From my experience (and I've had one of them on my old computer), trojans themselves aren't very harmful to your computer, but they seem to come "packaged" with other viruses that I'm not too sure about. The first thing they seem to go after is your virus protection, in order to disable it, so, if your virus protection has any auto-protect sort of feature, you should use it.

Answer 5

Could be very harmful if you keep banking details etc on your PC. If you have a good FREE anti-virus like AVG and a good FREE firewall like Zone Alarm and programs such as Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware (links supplied below) you should be OK. Good Luck!
