trojan horse / internet bandwidth

[applesainty]

does it require a lot of bandwidth of a connection for a trojan horse to establish quick screen-surveillancing? and usually how much?

how do you check if the connection is slowed down?

not really but some would, if you have loads then yes what programs do you use to scan your computer if any?

alright thx
so can a trojan be downloaded by simply going to a website, and downloaded in less than like half a minute and then already begins functioning?
thx again

Trojans can be acquired by visiting infected links, usually porn sites, and by clicking on links from emails and IMs. Most trojans are small, maybe 5kbs, so yes, they can be downloaded extremely fast, and activate fast, especially if they're based in Java, in which most are.
