Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Helen is a victim of a Trojan horse, which is a type of malware that disguises itself as a harmless program but actually carries out harmful actions. Spoofing involves disguising oneself as a trusted source to gain unauthorized access, keyloggers record keystrokes to steal sensitive information, and worms replicate themselves to spread through networks.
