5. Another method of distributing Backdoors involves tricking you by displaying deceptive pop-up ads that may appear as regular Windows notifications with links which look like buttons reading yes and no.

6. No matter which "button" that you click on, a download starts, installing Backdoors on your system. Backdoors installs on your computer through a Trojan and may infect your system without your knowledge or consent.

11. E • There are many ways to prevent backdoors. First (of course) get spyware preventers and keep them updated. Also you can use common sense, if you see a file that looks suspicious and you’ve never seen before, it is probably dangerous.

12. Scan for backdoors frequently and don’t open files you didn’t download and don’t download files you don’t know about. Backdoors are sneaky and are used to help other viruses. It’s pretty much like the Trojan War when the Trojan horse was used to sneak army men into enemy camps and win the war.

13. F • Spyware is programming that is put into your computer to secretly gather information and relay it to advertisers or other interested parties. • Worms are a virus variant that can infect a computer without any user interaction.

14. Trapdoors are like a trap that you go through as in like a virus and collect the person’s data that you then have access to. • Cracks are an opening way to get in to access any data available.

15. Trojan horse virus looks like a legitimate software program. Unlike traditional viruses that require the hacker to find and exploit a vulnerability on the target.  • Concealed stratagem is when you are tricked to thinking that there isn’t anything there but it is there.
