Has any of you guys noticed recently that there is a load of sub 7 trojans being thrown about?

where can i find out about trojans ?

i'm blissfully ignorant , and wouldn't know if i had them or not . can anybody explain briefly or point me in the right direction for a site that sums it up ?

They are little programs, that can be attached to any type of file.
They are in two parts the "Client" and the "Server".
What happens is that you may be sent a file to which the client is attached to, you open that file and the trojan comes out and opens a port on you PC....
Then the server side of the program which will already be running on the hackers PC scans ALL IP address's looking for an open port.
That is when you will see a lot of activity on your firewall, servers scanning your ip address looking for a client that has a port open.

If you are open, the hacker can gain access to your PC and basicly take full control of your PC

Hope that makes sense......??!!??
