Back-door client (BDC)
In order to steal data or manipulate computers, a back-door server program is locked
in via the “back-door” so that the user doesn’t become aware of it. This program can
be controlled by a back-door control software via the Internet or network.
Adware/Spyware
Software that displays advertising or sends the user’s personal data to a third party is
usually unwanted.
Unusual runtime compression
Files which have been compressed using unusual run-time compression can be
regarded as suspicious.
Double-extension files
Executable files which hide their real extensions in a suspicious way can be malware.
Phishing
Phishing also known as brand spoofing, is a clever kind of data theft which targets
customers or potential customers of Internet service providers, banks, online banking
services and registry authorities. By entering the email address into the Internet, in
an online form or in a newsgroup or website you enable so-called “Internet crawling
spiders” to steal your data which is used afterwards for a fraud or other crimes.
Application (APPL)
This is an application which may pose a risk for the user and has a suspicious
background. Avira AntiVir Professional detects “Application (APPL)”. If you have
chosen this option in the extended threat categories you receive a warning if Avira
AntiVir Professional detects such a behavior.
