Thank you, SuperDave for responding to my questions. I had checked out the Winipeake definition of a Trojan the other day, but the other sight gave me some additional info. I have a general understanding of Trojans such as it is a type of malicious software that a user may find desirable but the end effect is not what the bargained for. Different Trojans have different characteristics like, keystroke logging, stealing passwords and credit card numbers and hackers can gain backdoor access or remote access to your computer and use it as a bot in a DDos attack. I am still finding it hard to understand, per my extra credit report, what is meant by;
-A protected process attempted to write to the memory location of another protected process
-Attempts to write to a memory location of a protected process.
-Attempts to write to a memory location of a Windows system process
-Attempts to write to a memory location of a previously loaded process.
-Enumerates many system files and directories.
-Process attempts to call itself recursively
-Adds or modifies Internet Explorer cookies- think I understand this one..attaches a tracking cookie to your system so they can see which website a person views
-No digital signature is present
These are what I am having a hard time understanding the terminology, if I had to describe these characteristics in my own words, I can't, because I don't understand what they mean. Any suggestions are greatly welcome. Again, thank you for your help.
