The file n.exe is a process that registers as a trojan, with process name TROJAN.W32.NASCENE. A trojan is a non-self-replicating type of malware that appears to be doing a desirable function but instead facilitates unauthorized access to the computer system. These malware do not attempt to inject themselves into other files like a computer virus. A computer may be infected by a trojan from drive-by downloads, or it may install via online games or internet-driven applications. A trojan may give a hacker remote access to a targeted computer system. Though the hacker may not be responsible for distributing the trojan, it is possible for individual hackers to scan computers on a network using a port scanner to locate a trojan. The hacker can then use the trojan to control the target computer. Any process identified as a trojan is a security risk and should be removed from the computer.
