Trojan Horses
They are very dangerous! Trojans or often called backdoors are programs which will most be sent via email, instant-messengers or file sharing-tools. If you run a Trojan file it will install itself on your computer to get run every time you boot up your machine. Trojans opens a port (channel) on your system which can be used by an attacker to connect to your computer. An easy system security analysis will let you know of any vulnerabilities that exist. Trojans can enable almost everything for an attacker to do harmful things like viewing/modifying/deleting data, watching you when you are working or surfing the web, etc. Depending on the Trojan there can be thousands of functions built in which can be remotely used
by any attacker to spy on you.

Government
Governments have installed sophisticated "snooping" software right on your onramp to the Internet... your ISP (Internet Service Provider). The very second you connect to the Internet, your every move is monitored and recorded. Sure, their main purpose in doing this is to catch terrorists and prevent potential acts of aggression, but don't think for a minute that all other information gathered is ignored and discarded. And remember, the most frightening part is that devious programmers have likely used numerous "Trojan Horses" and other "hacking" techniques to infest your hard drive with unimaginable and often illegal images and programs, without you even knowing about it! ...but try and explain that to Big Brother.

Employers
How about your employer? Think you have nothing to worry about at work? If so, then you could not be more wrong. There is a strong and growing trend among employers to monitor and record everything an employee does that involves a computer... and it's perfectly legal for them to do so! As a matter of fact, a recent survey showed that 77% of all major U.S. companies record and review employee communications and Internet surfing habits.

Partners / Spouses
Your significant other is more likely than ever to monitor your computer time. Imagine your husband or wife being able to see every website you've visited and every image you've viewed. What if he or she was able to record your passwords, or read every e-mail you've sent and received, as well as view every detail of every chat session you've participated in... even if you think you've deleted everything! You need Secure desktop protection software. Don't be naive enough to think your spouse would never do such as thing. The number of broken relationships and divorces continues to climb, and the frequency in which computer records are used has "evidence" in such cases has dramatically increased. When obtaining these "hidden" and "deleted" records is as easy as buying a piece of software, even the most technically-challenged spouses are able to do so with relative ease.
