    What type of virus is Unclassified.Monitor/ActualSpy?

    I like to learn about viruses, trojans, etc. and I get excited by hearing their names. As I was surfing through a website related to information on viruses, I came across a name called Unclassified.Monitor/ActualSpy, which I had heard for the first time. I do not know whether it is a virus/trojan/worm. So, I wanted to know what type of virus is this Unclassified.Monitor/ActualSpy, what places does it infect and what are the best antivirus available to eradicate them?

    I know what type of virus is Unclassified.Monitor/ActualSpy. They are actually trojans. Trojans means programs that seem to be useful and harmless from outside, but when it gets onto the system works in an unwanted or destructive way. These trojan horses also download other viruses, infections, harmful and unwanted softwares that are very destructive. Such type of infections that download contents without the knowledge of the user is called as a spyware or adware.
