Early One Afternoon,,,
Oh boy! This email from Grandma says that if I click on this link, I'll get free cookies for a year!!!

Eh? It doesn't look like a wooden horse to me.

No, this is something totally different. A Trojan attack is when a criminal tries to gain your trust so they can fool you into downloading malicious content or steal sensitive information

Just look at all the red signs in this email...How could you tell it was really Grandma who sent this? She would never use this exaggerated tone.
Here are some measures you can take to prevent a Trojan attack.
1. Don't open a link or file in an email unless you are 100% sure who sent it.2. Keep a firewall up, this will prevent Trojans from getting to you in the first place.3. Install an antivirus, this will ensure that any link or file you open is safe.
All in a day's work, Be safe out there.
Wow, thanks bro, I'll be more careful with these emails from now on!
