TPE

The Trident Polymorphic Engine (TPE) is a polymorphic encryption system used within a number of computer viruses to generate different looking offspring. Before the virus infects a file, it uses
TPE to encrypt itself and then writes the encrypted code, which is different everytime, to the file to be infected.

TRACEBACK VIRUS

The Traceback Virus (3066 Virus) is a computer virus which infects .COM and . EXE files, increasing their length by 3066 bytes. The virus is loaded into memory by executing an infected program and then affects the computer's runtime operation and corrupts program or overlay files. One hour after activation, the virus causes a cascade of the display to occur lasting one minute, followed by a restoration of the screen to its condition prior to the cascade.

TRANSPONDER

Transponder is an Internet Explorer Browser Helper Object parasite written in Microsoft Visual C++ that monitors web pages requested and the data entered into forms (including secure forms), and sends this information to its home server.
Transponder also opens pop-up advertisement windows and has the capability to update itself and install other software, all without the user's knowledge or permission. There are various variants of Transponder, the VX2 variant was stealth-installed by version 0.608W of the AudioGalaxy Satellite up until some time in November 2001, when after public outcry it was removed. The Blackstone variant is installed with all software from Mindset Interactive. Other variants are commonly installed by pornographic web sites through security holes in Internet Explorer. The main security concerns about Transponder are that it reports back to its servers with URLs visited, data entered into web forms, the host computer configuration and software that is installed. If the host computer has its e-mail address set in Outlook Express, that will be sent to Mindset Interactive to be sold in mass marketing lists. Removal of the parasite has to be done manually by unregistering the associated file (IEHelper.dll, VX2.dll,
MSView.dll or TPS108.dll) from the Windows directory, restarting the host computer and then deleting the parasite file from the Windows directory.
