This is another method of vectoring Trojan by extension hiding. In fact you can hide any file's extension using this method. This method is better known as False Linking or Fake Shortcut. To use this method while creating your Trojan server using RAT client bind it with file whose extension you want to use, for example a simple text file with TXT extension. Now move your Trojan server in an empty folder. Change its extension to TXT.

A Trojan infection can be avoided by the following measures:

*
Do not download any file from unknown people or site without making sure that the file is genuine.
*
While opening file make sure what the file is, even if the file comes from a friend.
*
Do not make use of attributes in programs that automatically get or preview files.
*
The user should not be lulled into a false sense of security just because an anti-virus program is running on the system.
