  Trojan Horses or Backdoors open your PC from the inside to attackers. Once a trojan is installed, someone can take full control of your computer. The term Trojan describes software that appears desirable but actually contains something harmful. In most cases Trojans contain Backdoors that are delivered via email attachments. The term Trojan usually also includes Keyloggers that invisibly log your keyboard inputs and Rootkits that hide themselves perfectly and manipulate system internal actions. a-squared Anti-Malware is specialized in detecting and removing this kind of Malware.

• Worms, Bots
  
  Worm-Viruses are the most wide spread hazard on the internet. Worms arrive as emails with harmful attachments. If you open an attachment the worm will then copy and send itself to as many other computers as possible, damaging yours and your friend's systems. Newer network Worms and Bots infect the computer by using security leaks (exploits) and gain an enormous spreading speed. a-squared Anti-Malware detects worms on your PC and removes them before they can do any damage. The Malware-IDS also blocks attacks using security leaks for which no bugfixes are available. More about Worms
