  OVERVIEW

Trojans or Trojan horse programs refer to a family of malware that carry payloads or other malicious actions that can range from the mildly annoying to the irreparably destructive. They can also contribute to information-stealing attacks by other malware. Trojans may also modify an infected system's settings to automatically execute during startup. Restoring infected systems may require procedures apart from scanning with an antivirus software.

Trojans may be downloaded off the Internet. These may also be dropped by other malware onto systems or may be unknowingly installed by users into their systems.

Leveraging the power of the Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™, Trend Micro products detect and consequently remove malicious files classified as Trojans if these are found in locations where malware are usually installed and if the files exhibit common malware characteristics.
