What is Backdoor?

Backdoor is a group of Trojans threats that spread through a LAN, Internet, security holes and sometimes with other malware. These threats usually purport to be the authorized remote administration toolkits and function in the same manner as the legal remote administration programs, in order to take control of an infected machine and execute commands. This makes them very easy to hide from Windows and from the user.

Backdoor functions can include but not limited to:

• change the Internet parameters
• redirect HTTP traffic
• steal game and application license keys
• steal passwords and personal information
• remove and change files
• execute programs
• reboot and shutdown computer

Unlike an authorized administration tool, a backdoor is downloaded and installed onto the system without the permission of the user. Once the backdoor is installed, it steals password and other information from the victim PC, switches off security programs, lowers security settings and even slows down PC performance.
