Being Smart Online

For years, I was rather stupid about my online surfing habits. I used the Internet as a form of entertainment to fill in the gaps during commercials on TV or as a good friend when I was sitting at my favorite coffee house. I had a system when I surfed that helped to keep the process dynamic and engaging. That was all fine and wonderful until one day I discovered that I had downloaded a Trojan virus to my computer. It wasn't just any Trojan virus, but one that caused some serious harm to files on my computer. Needless to say, I was very upset. The process of cleaning my computer took what seemed to be a very long time. I didn't get to use my computer for entertainment or even for work while it was being fixed. From that experience I learned to be smart online because I love my computer and I don't like to be without it for any length of time.

Being smart online was a process more than just a sudden change that I made following infection with the Trojan virus. I had to learn to think a little bit more about the web sites that I visited and I had to exercise a lot more caution when I downloaded material from web sites. I wasn't exactly sure where the Trojan virus that I had gotten on my computer had come from, but I knew that it was probably the result of my lack of attention and the fact that I didn't have anti-virus protection on my computer updated. One of the first things that I did was get proper anti-virus protection installed on my machine to make my life easier and to take a little bit of stress off my shoulders so that I could simply enjoy the time that I had to surf the web.

After realizing that my computer was infected, I had to do something to get it cleaned up. I had a friend who helped me find out which virus had infection my computer and the steps involved in removing it. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, but it still took time out of my day that I would have rather spent doing something else. I regard this as a lesson that I needed to learn and I tried to just deal with it and go ahead and learn what I needed to know about removing the Trojan virus and also learn what I needed to know to protect myself from future attacks.

Responsible computer maintenance always involves anti-virus and anti-malware tools. You really shouldn't go online without it. These days, I no longer surf on the Internet without my trusty updated anti-virus or anti-malware tools to help me. There's just too much at stake. I like to have my computer in strong working order which means that I don't have time for it to go down on account of the presence of viruses or malware.

HIloti Trojan- All you need to know

Knowing the different kinds of viruses, spyware and malware that can affect your computer can only be helpful for your own self, as it will give you an idea about the different kinds of files that can deal harm to your computer. If you are a regular user of the internet, knowing what files you are downloading is very important, because it will help you in making sure that you do not download any harmful material. A number of people just download files without looking at the file names, and then later regret when they find out that they have downloaded harmful viruses in to their computer. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that you know of at least some of the dangerous Trojans and harmful viruses that can affect your computer. The following article will help you in getting a better idea about one of the most dangerous Trojans that can affect your computer, which is named Hiloti.

For a number of people, this is a completely unknown and unheard of Trojan. However, that is because it is particularly new as well. This Trojan was released back in the April of 2011, and has been infecting a vast number of computers. It enters your computer through a number of unsuspected downloaded files such as those which are hosted on numerous file hosting servers. These include file hosting services such as Rapid Share and Mega Upload etc. If you download files regularly, you might not know which files would contain this dangerous Trojan, but the effects it can leave on your computer are disastrous.

Firstly, the most worrying part about this Trojan is that it cannot be detected so easily. The Hiloti Trojan is very hard to find, mainly because it does not leave any traces behind. People who wish to check if their computer has this Trojan infection or not will not find any obvious symptoms for it, which just adds to the difficulty of locating it. Therefore, in order to find and remove this Trojan, you must make use of a powerful antivirus program in order to locate and remove the Trojan.

Just removing the files it is connected with will not result in the direct removal of the Trojan, as it also embeds itself in the directory. Therefore, in order to remove the Trojan, using a good antivirus program is important. Hiloti will alter your browsing performance, and can also add or remove content that you see on HTML pages. It can also increase the amount of pop ups that you see, so for instance, if you are opening a simple page like Google, there might be five or six pop up ads following suit. Hiloti is very dangerous and can also keep tabs on your Windows processes, hence affecting the performance of your computer and slowing it down substantially. Hiloti tends to spread itself, so it can very soon take over half of the directories in your Windows and render them useless.

What are Trojans?

Everyone has heard of computer viruses. The Trojan viruses however are much less known. So what are Trojans exactly and what has caused this rather peculiar name to have arisen? Well, the answer is not as complicated as you think. Usually, the common man uses the term computer virus for every type of attack that occurs on a computer. This includes actual viruses, spyware and malware. However, in true technicality, all are different. Trojan viruses are a type of Malware. These Trojan worms are in essence quite different from the computer virus and many times, much more harmful.

The Trojan worm is named after the fabled Trojan horse of Greek lore. The same story in which a peace offering sent by the Greeks turned into the biggest attack launch Greek could ever do on a city. Just as the same, the Trojan worm, functions by pretending to be a harmless software application that later destroys your system.

If the question what are Trojans is to be tackled on a very technical front, computer Trojans are malware. Malware are programs that tend to be malicious in nature. The programs are a string of coding that have is released over the internet or other mediums. The Trojan viruses can be transported through any external hardware like USBs and portable hard disks. When you insert the external memory device, the Trojan will get transferred via the programs you move to the computer system. The largest way of getting a Trojan virus in to your computer system, is however through all those free downloads people do every single day. Countless people happily download every single free application that is available every single day. Seriously! You may even find yourself guilty right now. Has it ever occurred to you that just perhaps a free program may not be as innocent as it seems?

The computer Trojan then enters your computer system just like a Trojan horse. It acts like an innocent free application that would be of some use for you. Once you have downloaded it and it is officially in your computer system, the havoc is wrecked. Naturally, once you download a program, you open it. Just like the same, once you open a program with a Trojan in it, the Trojan worm releases in to your computer system.

The Trojan worm is a fusion of a Trojan with a worm. Seems the same? Well not quite. The Trojan horse virus cannot replicate itself. Unlike the virus, it cannot use programs and replicate itself to completely diffuse all across your system. The worm however can. The Trojan worm diffuses two great threats and combines the best of both, to completely take down your system. This is what a Trojan is.

How does a Trojan Worm Work?

A Trojan worm is a very dangerous kind of malicious code, even more dangerous than a virus or spyware. Once your system is infected by a computer Trojan, it gains total control over your computer system, and you won't even realize that all of your most confidential and private information is being passed on to a third party. Now if you are wondering how Trojan viruses are spread, you may be surprised to learn that a Trojan worm can spread in many different ways. 

The most widespread technique used for spreading Trojan viruses is by sending legitimate looking attachments on emails or chat systems. Files that are downloaded over the Internet using P2P (peer to peer) software may also carry computer trojan, viruses, and other malware that can damage your PC and compromise your personal information. The other way the Trojan spreads is through downloading the applications that are interesting and apparently free.  However, the generosity that most of these free applications show is not because of no reason, rather the motive behind this generosity is loud and clear and that is a Trojan virus download.  So think twice before downloading a free application, doesn't matter how interesting it may sound. At least double check the authenticity of the manufacturer by Googling its name and finding out what other users have to say about it.

A Trojan worm, named after Trojan horse from ancient Greek history, is that software application that is designed to remain hidden on a system it gets installed on.  Trojans can do many undesirable things once they are on your system and that includes accessing your personal information. This information is then passed on to a remote party over the Internet.

Trojan viruses may also serve as the "backdoor" applications; in this case, they open the network ports allowing the other applications to gain access to your computer. The difference between a virus and Trojan is that while virus replicates itself, a Trojan worm does not. However, that doesn't make a Trojan any less dangerous than a virus, or any other malware for that reason.

Your data security can be heavily compromised, if your system is infected with a Trojan. The Trojan viruses can end up transmitting your credit card data, online banking details and other personal information to a 3rd party without your knowledge. If you think you have an antivirus and thus you don't need to worry about the Trojans – think again. Most of the virus scanners are not designed to catch Trojans. You need to find out if your antivirus is capable of detecting and removing a Trojan virus download. If it is not, it is time to look for a better alternative.

Remember the age old saying – "Prevention is better than cure"

Beware of the Zeus Trojan Virus

In this world of advancing technology, where people are more and more into using computers and internet for all their day to day tasks, the threat is also high. Now that most of the important information is stored in computers, there are a number of viruses that steal such information from the systems, causing a great loss. Computer virus was present long ago, as were the hackers, but now with the advancement of technology, the new viruses are also more dangerous. One of these is the Zeus Trojan. The Zeus Trojan virus is famous for stealing information regarding banking. A number of schemes that include the phishing scheme as well as the drive by downloading one, are the main sources through which such viruses spread. The virus was first detected in the year 2007 by the transportation department of the United States. Those were the beginning days of this virus, but later on in 2009, it became more widespread, and then it was realized that the virus had already stolen information from a large number of bank accounts. The Zeus Trojan detection is known to be very difficult. This is the main reason why many companies were unable to detect this virus when it stole the banking information of many. Even with the use of the latest antivirus software, this virus is very difficult to detect. Since the Zeus Trojan detection is very difficult, all businesses teach their employees not to click on any unnecessary links, and get their antivirus software updated at regular intervals. Taking precautionary measures by not clicking on advertisement and unnecessary links and not opening suspicious mails can help prevent it, but once it gets to the computer system, it is very difficult to be detected by the antivirus software. This Zeus Trojan virus is known to have destroyed about 3.6 millions systems, and these statistics are just for the US. The number of systems affected by the virus all over the world would be much greater than this. There is no limit to which information can be stolen with this virus. Although this virus is known for stealing banking information, but every criminal has his own choice to get control over whichever type of information he wants. All he would want to do is tune the Zeus virus, according to his own need and use it to get control over other person's important information and steal it. Since a large number of people and companies are affected by this virus, the US FBI has taken a number of steps for the Zeus Trojan detection, and taken steps to the punish the guilty ones severely. Since this virus is very destructive and more and more people are taking benefit of this in a negative way, it is very important to take necessary steps, to catch the criminals. In October 2010 only, a criminal network was detected that was guilty of using the Zeus virus for stealing people's information, and arrested them to punish them for their crime.
