Week to week when you look at our malicious top 10, you will notice that the majority of the top threats fall under the category of Trojan. We categorize Trojan as a type of malware that is installed under false or deceptive pretenses or is installed without the user's full knowledge and consent. Most Trojans exhibit some form of malicious, hostile, or harmful functionality or behavior. You can read more about Trojans below in our Dirty Tricks Sector.

This week we are taking a look at INF.Autorun, a generic family of threats that use Autorun.inf files to automatically launch backdoors, Trojans, and Trojan Downloaders when certain files or folders are accessed by the user (autorun.inf tells Windows how to deal with the contents of a CD). After execution, these malicious files will usually download additional malware to the compromised box.
