==What is a backdoor==

A backdoor is a silent way into your computer via a website, software, or operating system. It is achieved by exploiting a vunderality in one of them to get in and control your computer without you knowing.

==Why are they bad==

Backdoors are bad as they compromise the safety of your computer, your network, your files, and anything else related to it. They can launch botnets which silently run on your computer without your knowledge for illegal use.

==How can I protect myself from backdoors==

Update your software to its current version.

Do not use unlicensed (hacked) software.

Use, and have a up to date antivirus software.

Keep your OS up to date.
