What’s a Trojan Horse?

Trojan Horses are programs that are disguised as useful software and are put for download on the Internet, and users download and run them only to realise their mistake later. The main difference between a Trojan Horse and a virus is that Trojans don’t spread themselves.

A Trojan Horse is divided into two parts- a server and a client. The server is cunningly disguised as important software by giving it an icon or double extension such as ‘filename.jpg.exe’. The icon can be of a program that is commonly used such as flash, winzip, winrar or photoshop. The server is placed in P2P (peer-to-peer) file sharing networks such as Kazaa or eDonkey 2000, or unofficial download sites. Once the server runs on your system the attacker can gain control over your system allowing the person to perform actions such as deleting,uploading and downloading.

All about Spam

What is Spam?

Spam is the commonly used term for unsolicited commercial e-mail send in bulk. The most common form of spam is e-mail spam. The main difference between spam and solicited mail, or newsletter, is that you never signed up to receive it anywhere. Other forms of spam are instant messaging (IM) spam, search engine spam, blog spam and mobile phone messaging spam.

What does spam do?

Spam fills your inbox with useless e-mails preventing you from receiving important mails. A large percentage of spam contains ads for pornographic Web sites or other such places that can be unacceptable viewing for many, especially children.

Opening a spam mail could immediately infect your pc with spyware or a worm without your knowledge. Another problem these days are spambots, which are a major producer of e-mail spam. Some spammers create various e-mail viruses that transforms an unprotected PC into a spambot that will inform the spammer of its existence, and the spammer will command it to send a low volume of spam. This allows spammers to send high volumes of spam without being caught by their ISPs or being tracked down by anti-spammers as the low volume makes it hard to detect.

Common Web Designing Mistakes

I have mentioned here a few mistakes that are commonly made by web designers:

  1. Frames: A few years ago, frames were the in thing. They allowed one or two parts of your site stay constant while only one frame changed.As a result people used to use them for fast loading of pages.But with the growing popularity of search engines, it became a known fact that Framed sites were not being properly indexed.

    When a search bot visits a site with frames it indexes only the main frame ignoring all the other frames, leading to sites with frames dropping rapidly in search engine rankings. This is one of the reasons why frames are no longer popular.

    Another reason is that bookmarking a site with frames is not easy.
