This is a draft. I am looking for people to read through it and check the spelling/grammar. As well as point out technical errors, and of course make suggestions about other things that could be placed in the article.

Many home users are kept in the dark about Trojans, what they are exactly, and the force behind them.
The Trojan scene is quite an interesting one, one which I will document in this text, in order to give readers a better understanding of Trojans and the people that create and use them, After all there is more to Trojans than just the Trojans themselves. I will also detail in this text the technologies the latest Trojans incorporate in order to make themselves more stealthy and/or harder to remove. The general purpose of this text is to educate the reader about Trojans, so they can help protect themselves against them, and in the event of infection they may remove them and try and to prevent them from doing any further damage.
This text is meant only for outsiders to the Trojan scene and beginners in the IT Security scene.

Another great tutorial from you, aelphaeis mangarae, it has details on many common antviruses and trojans, it explains the removal of them, and the methods of infection. However, as I have seen in some posts, people have problems with rapidshare, if possible, can you please upload it to a different mirror, without the ad's and blocks from the ISPs. I was going to upload the file to my googlepages, but it is copyrited.

You can upload it where ever you want, however this is just a draft so I do not want it distributed.

Yes I will upload it to another host.

Excellent. Although it's very basic, it's very informative. I liked the background on each trojan and the interviews. It's nice--good job.

You should have more interviews with trojan coders and script kiddies, they are really interesting. And you shouldn't focus so much on trojan abilities, that's all copying and pasting

. And the startup methods are fine, there is something new for me to learn from that. My comment is, this is excellent trojan white paper to educate beginners what a trojan is and how to prevent it.

I actually had to handwrite all of that... which took quite alot of time.
The final version of my paper is finished, I will be posting it soon (with a couple mirrors.)

No one else post it.
