Destructive trojans
This is one of the most irritating Trojans as it is designed to destroy and delete files stored in your pc. Some can automatically delete system files, gradually slowing down the system and corrupting it as an end result. The attacker can either activate the Trojan manually or program it to function in a specific time and date.
