Some words about the Trojan Horse malware family

The good news is that most Trojans need the user to make some kind of a mistake, otherwise they cannot automatically infect your system. Usually, this mistake boils down to executing the file that contains the malware. Of course, no one would willingly open an infected file in their device, which is why most Trojans are well disguised as something that most users wouldn’t find suspicious. For example, the file of a Trojan Horse may be disguised as an installation manager for a device game or some other program, or as some media file (a movie, or a song file). If the user isn’t careful enough to check the origins of the file, and they open it on their device, the insidious malware hidden within would get unleashed, and would now be free to carry out its malicious tasks. Of course, infected files cannot be downloaded from everywhere. In most cases, data pieces that contain Trojans can be found in the attachments of spam email letters, inside misleading online ads, or they could be downloaded from illegal sites that spread pirated content. In all of those cases, if you use your common sense, you should be able to avoid potential Trojan Horse infections. However, since you could never be too safe, it is also important to keep your device secure with the help of a powerful security too – a good antivirus or anti-malware program is a must if you want to keep your system and files out of harm. You can find one such tool recommended in the removal guide for xHelper down below.
