What is a Backdoor?

Backdoors are a particularly dangerous form of Trojan. Once a backdoor is installed on a computer, it allows another user (called a master) to monitor the actions of a computer as well as install a remote access utility. This is a utility that allows access to the computer, its files and commands, and thus the ability to control these things. Remote access is something that system administrators and tech supporters use legally to help set up and repair systems on your computer. Like people using a remote control, these people can access your computer via LAN or the Internet from across town or across the country. A backdoor allows a master to illegally monitor and even control your computer the same way without asking your permission. Consequently a master can

• view confidential information


• execute malicious codes


• launch programs


• send / receive date via the Internet


• delete files and other data


• display notifications


• reboot the system
