Basically how you get this virus is through software downloads. For example it can come attached to some pictures you want to download or a game, another one is file sharing like music. You can also get it from unsecure websites where you download something or email attachments. So don’t download stuff from an unknown source and don’t open email attachments from an unknown source. It is best to stick with well known trusted sites.
If you get one of these viruses it will allow a hacker (person) access to your computer. The hacker can perform operations from your computer, within the limits of your user privileges. Identity theft can happen, stealing credit card numbers and passwords. They can crash your computer or use your computer storage space making your computer slow.
The best way to remove a Trojan Horse is by an antivirus software. Antivirus software is designed to detect and delete Trojan Horse viruses. It is also supposed to help prevent them from being installed. AVG offers a free antivirus download from the internet if you do not have an antivirus installed. Because it is hard to tell what kind of damage could have taken place, it is best to erase all the data from the hard disk and reinstall the operating system and associated software.

Barack Obama and Network Neutrality
Barack Obama fully supports network neutrality.
Barack Obama feels that “Because most Americans only have a choice of only one or two broadband carriers, carriers are tempted to impose a toll charge on content and services, discriminating against websites that are unwilling to pay for equal treatment. This could create a two-tier Internet in which websites with the best relationships with network providers can get the fastest access to consumers, while all competing websites remain in a slower lane.”
By creating a two-tier internet it threatens the innovation of the open internet and architecture of the internet. This also allows all of the bigger companies to control the internet and its contents. By having network neutrality it will ensure that new competitors, large or small, non-profit speakers or anyone for that matter, have the same opportunities as the larger companies that innovate on the internet to reach large audiences or specifically targeted audiences.
I also support network neutrality because I feel that everyone should have the same opportunities with in the internet and that it should not be controlled by the larger companies who inovate it. This will allow everyone the same rights and access on the internet.
