II. Testing Time For Trojan

A research paper of Ian Whalley, IBM TJ Watson Research Center. This paper is all about a malicious computer virus that attacks on the computer, the Trojan. A Trojan virus is a program which the user thinks or believes will do one thing, and which does that thing, but which also does something additional which the user would not approve of. This was entitled testing time for Trojan because this paper discussed more about on how to detect malicious treats. It attempts to give ideas on how to detect and provide some tips on how to avoid this malicious treats. Giving a certain scenario which illustrates how Trojan works in hijacking a property. This work was done to advise user not to trust any link that were given, whether it’s purpose is to offer suggestion that might help but what you do not know that it brings malicious treats and give access to illegitimate users. An answer to this problem is the main purpose of this paper to help the Trojan problem increasing. As the author concluded “the continuing interest in anti-Trojan testing seems doomed to continue, regardless of whether or not the average user is actually at any sort of risk from Trojans”, with this we can say that without paying attention to Trojan horses, user is prone whatever treat it brings however it can be avoided when test was being done, believing that they are Trojan because we will not lose anything if we assume that it is a Trojan.
