How did I get infected with?

Trojans pretty much follow the classic pattern. They usually travel the Web via fake email-attachments or messages. Yes, this is the oldest malware infiltration technique online. It is also the most efficient one when it comes to Trojan horses. All you need to do in order to let the virus loose is one single careless click. If you open the wrong email, you could download a whole bunch of viruses. To prevent that, you have to watch out potential intruders in advance. When you receive something you don’t trust, do not open it. Delete all suspicious job applications or other random emails you may stumble across. You could save yourself some serious trouble by paying attention. Hackers often add bogus logos to make the corrupted emails seem legitimate. Do not let them fool you twice and be cautious. Another famous trick Trojans use involves freeware and shareware bundles. Those offer a quick and stealthy virus distribution tactic. Therefore, it is worth it to keep an eye out for bonus infections. Trojans also travel the Web via fake torrents, exploit kits, malicious websites. Stay away from third-party pop-ups too.
