Troj/TDSS-FU

Another Trojan is on the loose that affects Windows users that don't have proper antivirus software. The Troj/TDSS-FU virus is here and hackers are excited to use it in order to get your personal information. The Troj/TDSS-FU is designed to infect Windows 32-bit executable programs.

The backdoor Troj/TDSS-FU virus is a malicious program which allows hackers to remotely access a computer and perform various operations. This specific trojan is known for exploiting security holes in Windows and puts personal and private information in jeopardy. Viruses of this type help hackers with data theft, deletion or modifications of files, keystroke logging, and mass spammings.

The Troj/TDSS-FU can appear on your computer in a variety of ways. Trojan horses can look like part of a software application, and they find their way to your computer when you download shared files, open email attachments, instant message, and visit websites that contain executable content, such as the Active X control.

Some Trojans are referred to as backdoor Trojans. A backdoor Trojan contains a remote administration tool inside of it. A backdoor Trojan often takes the form of a legitimate, installed computer program. This remote administration tool can bypass normal authentication and secretly control the computer you are working on, the computer network, and even the program that is in use. In some cases an authorized administrator uses similar tools for legitimate reasons, but attackers often misuse this technology.
