Trojans, derived from the Trojan Horse story in Greek mythology, refer to a type of malicious software that disguises itself as a legitimate file or program. Once unsuspecting users download or execute these files, the Trojans can infiltrate the system, wreaking havoc. Unlike viruses and worms, Trojans do not self-replicate. Instead, their primary purpose is to create a backdoor entry for cybercriminals, allowing them to gain unauthorized access to the victim's computer or network. To protect against Trojans, it is essential to have up-to-date antivirus software, exercise caution with email attachments and downloads, and regularly back up important data. Stay vigilant and maintain strong computer security to keep these stealthy intruders at bay.#34#
