Hello There


A Trojan horse is a peice of malicious code that enters your computer looking like something innocent, once it is inside it will execute itself, with the sole purpose of a. delivering a payload (erasing files etc) or b. replicating itself (Sends itself to your friends)

K Key logger runs in the background and keep a record of what keys have been pressed on the keyboard, they are primarily used to capture peoples passwords without their knowlwdge

What is a Trojan Program

Trojans or often called backdoors are programs which will most be sent via email, instant-messengers or file sharing-tools (especially Kazak. If you run a Trojan file it will install itself on your computer to get run every time you boot up your machine. Trojans opens a port (channel) on your system, which can be used by an attacker to connect to your computer. Trojans can enable almost everything for an attacker to do harmful things like viewing/modifying/deleting data, watching you when you are working or surfing the web, etc. Depending on the Trojan there can be thousands of functions built in which can be remotely used by any attacker to spy you.

Hello, You can also run adware. It's a program that scans you computer for spyware including trojans and keyloggers running in the background. go to www.lavasoft.com and download it. It's free and it works very well.
Well Youve convinced me! but  ill meet you half way , Ill tell you how to do it and you can find the bits of software you need to make it work hows that?

First you have to get the software onto the PC if you have access just install it, if you dont you need to use some software to either remote execute it on a target host PC OR convert it to a service and start it on the target host PC

Most loggers will write to a text file you can either share the file so you can connect and read it over the network or if you really want to be cool write a batch file to send it to you every few hours.
