Trojans and Viruses are both programs that can cause harm to your computer. However, there are some differences between the two. For instance, most viruses are attached to an executable file and can only be spread by a human action. They are most usually shared through documents or emails with infected attachments. Trojans are programs that look like legitimate software, however, their true intention is to cause harm to your computer.
When in doubt, avoid opening up email attachments, clicking on unrecognized software updates, or unidentified emails that tell you to download programs. Use care when surfing the internet and choose to visit sites you know are legitimate and infection free. Don’t hesitate to contact LTS if you ever have any questions!
