What Is Trojan Malware? #AAH
Ever noticed that your device has begun to clow down or identified an app you don’t remember downloading? Chances are that a trojan malware has infected your device.
So what is Trojan malware?
This is a specific type of malware that spreads itself once it’s initially run. It’s different from other types of malware because it can either be like a parasite that attaches to good files on your machine, or it can be self-contained and search out other machines to infect.
It continues to replicate and spread by attaching replicas of itself to other files and applications in the system.
Signs your device is impacted
– Slow down of system
– Frequent crashing & freezing
– Unrecognized apps installed
– Internet redirection
– Sudden spike in pop ups
– Antivirus deactivation
Safety Tips
– Keep Antivirus/malware updated
– Enable firewall
– Scan USB drives before use
– Download only from trusted sites
– Don’t click links in emails in a hurry
The malicious files could also be hidden in banner advertisements, pop-up advertisements, or links on websites.
