Which among the following is a malicious software?
General KnowledgeStatic General Awareness
- AHacking
- BPassword Cracking
- CTrojan Horse
- DFirewall
Explanation
A Trojan Horse is a malicious program disguised as legitimate software, and it is the only malware in the list. Hacking and password cracking are activities or techniques rather than software, while a firewall is defensive security software — not malware. Unlike viruses, Trojans do not self-replicate; they rely on the user installing them unknowingly.
