Identifying a trojan, getting a stable anti virus up, getting around.
By HxaX
1. Intro
- Hey, I hate being a leecher all the time so I decided to write this up. It's not always 100% Accurate but it gets the word out. I love this community and wanted to contribute to it. So what better way than to help a few noobs out on how not to get trojanned.
2. Trojans
I am not a programmer, but a trojan in general is known as the Trojan Horse. Once you execute the trojan, it hides in your system registry under several lines of coding, It then sends acess to a user any acess to your Notepads, config files, and whatever you type!
Trojans are VERY Hard to get rid of, even with a anti virus your still at large to newly written ones not updated in the virus database.
3. Identifying a trojan.
If you don't have a anti virus and you macro, download programs regulary, chances are you will get a trojan.
Trojan commonly run under the extension .exe
Before EVER OPening a file, if it's say, a auto fighter for runescape.
That file should at least 100 or more KB. (Now I noticed, sythe's autofighter is 30 KB, well, some programs don't need very many lines of coding to use like his). However, this applys to most programs you download on the internet.
*NOTE, those with new anti virus, updated, think there safe, well your really not, a friend of mines writes trojans for fun, and he can easily get it past your anti virus.
If you double click and run the program, and it dissappears, and NOTHING comes up on your screen, your trojanned, simple.
However, if a RUNETIME error comes in when you run the program, your not trojanned, your comp is just shitty :)
4. If you have a trojan your options.
1. If you OBTAINED And EXECUTED a trojan WITHOUT A anti virus, you may be in luck. Download (Avast.com) avast home edition, it's a free anti virus and gets the job done.
2. If you OBTAINED and a NOT EXECUTED A trojan, DELETE IT FROM YOUR COMPUTER, do not leave it running for parents, brothers, cousins, to run the program, or you acidently running it later..
3. If you OBTAINED and EXECUTED a trojan WITH a anti-virus then I would consider cutting over your internet connection and reformatting.
Getting rid of a trojan with a anti virus, your chances are 0, my uncle and I spent a weekend trying to get rid of a newly written one that bypassed the best anti virus and couln't get it off his asp servers. So we had to reformat :/
5. AVAST.COM!!
Avast provides great anti virus, just go to avast.com and download home edition.
Then find the link where it says Register free. It will ask you for a valid email and name, and it's easy as that.
I hope this tutorial was useful :( I didn't have much time to write it up, please don't post anything bad, (Like swear at me >.<)
Thanks guys <3 SRL
