Backdoor-BDD trojan removal

Which program are you trying to remove it with, and what specific error messages, if any, are you getting?

1. Introduction to trojans

Trojans are malicious programs often used by hackers to attack target computers, usually to provide a backdoor into the system but sometimes just to cause destruction. Remote Access Trojans (RATs) are the most famous class of trojans and they usually come in two parts - a server that is sent to infect the victim, and a client that the hacker uses to connect to the server after the victim is infected. There are many ways that hackers can use to infect a target with a trojan, and careful security measures aren't always enough - a strong anti-trojan program such as TDS can easily detect tens of thousands of trojans that would otherwise be near-impossible for a human to find.
