Overview

Vendor Notes:

 From the doc: 'A Quick & Easy Trojan Developing System.. EasyTrojan is a program that enables *ANYONE* to write Ready To Run-Trojan Horses, using a very-easy-to-learn Trojan-Writing-Code. EasyTrojan is not intended to replace 'real' programming in the developing of Trojan Horses, but it offers an invaluable help to those who don't know anything about computer languages and want to make Trojans, and also to programmers who are in a hurry and need a Quick-Ready-To-Run Trojan!.'.

Trojan Creation Tool: A program designed to create Trojans. Some of these tools merely wrap existing Trojans, to make them harder to detect. Others add a trojan to an existing product (such as RegEdit.exe), making it a Dropper.

Virus Creation Tool: A program designed to generate viruses. Even early virus creation tools were able to generate hundreds or thousands of different, functioning viruses, which were initially undetectable by current scanners.
