This program is available for download at siamine.com/marlin, but we do not think that any user would actually find it or want to install such a program willingly and knowingly. It is more likely that you get infected with this Trojan by installing a freeware bundle. You can download such a bundle packed with potentially unwanted programs and malicious software installers like this one in a couple of ways. One of the most frequent possibilities is that you want to download a free or cracked program and you end up on a shady torrent or shareware page. These sites are usually filled with annoying and also dangerous third-party ads as well as malicious code that can be triggered by the user and drop infections in the background. So it is not only by downloading free software from the wrong source that can cause such multiple infections but also when you click on such unsafe ads and links, or if you trigger malicious codes by, for example, simply clicking into an input field (e.g., a search field). It is also possible that your computer was previously infected with malware like adware programs or browser hijackers. These infections can display unreliable ads and links on your screen. No matter though how this Trojan appeared on your system because it usually means that this is not the only threat you need to eliminate.

However, this can make your virtual experience a living hell.
