This computer's protection system has just posted that it detected and prevented a 'Trojan horse' called 'Netbus'. What specifically does this Trojan do if it gets into the system ?
Is there a website that gives details of what the various 'Trojan horses' and named viruses do ? (Just morbid curiosity on my part !)

it is capable of :

Open/Close CD-ROM
Show optional BMP/JPG image.
Swap mouse buttons.
Start optional application.
Play a wav file.
Control mouse.
Show different kind's of messages.
Shut down Windows.
Download/Upload/Delete files
Go to an optional URL.
Send keystrokes and disable keys.
Listen for and send keystrokes.
Take a screendump.
Increase and decrease the sound-volume.
Record sounds from the microphone.
Upload optional file.
Make click sounds every time a key is pressed.

Generally, if you type the name of the spyware/virus/trojan, whatever into Google you will get a bunch of security sites that have instructions on removing it and other information.

That was quick ! Thanks, GC.
