Hi Cornelia,
A Trojan Horse is a type of malware that pretends to be something useful, helpful, or fun while actually causing harm or stealing data. Trojans are often silently downloading other malware (e.g. spyware, adware, ransomware) on an infected device as well. One of the most dangerous Trojans is Zeus. Trojan viruses often are spread via an infected email attachment or a download that hides in free games, applications, movies or greeting cards. Your computer will often slow down because of the burden on the processor. The best way to identify if you have been infected is to use a Trojan scanner, found in any Trojan removal software. It's best to use a trojan remover that can detect and remove any Trojans on your device. The best, free Trojan remover is included in Avast Free Antivirus. When removing Trojans manually, be sure to remove any programs from your computer that are affiliated with the Trojan.
Protect yourself against Trojan horse virusesThere is no better way to recognize, remove and prevent Trojan horse viruses than to use an antivirus with an anti-trojan component, the best of which is provided by Avast. Knowing whether your phone has been infected can get tricky, but certain Android virus symptoms stick out like a sore thumb. Here’s what you should look out for…
Run a trusted Antivirus ScanHop on to Google Play and download an antivirus application. But do your homework first. Keep in mind that antivirus apps are a dime a dozen, and there might be virus-ridden malware applications hiding inside them. Only install apps from reputed developers, and if you ever have even an inkling of a doubt the app might be a fake, Google to see if it is.Also look at third-party labs like AV-TEST and AV-Comparatives. These organizations independently test antivirus apps and publicly post the results. (The free Avast Mobile Security for Android always earns high marks.) I hope this helps. Regards, Lokesh |
