Trojan.Malat

Trojan.Malat is a dangerous computer malware that can easily enter your system with a shareware program. Trojans do not necessarily slip into the target computer unawares – sometimes the users download the malware themselves, without even realizing it, because programs like Trojan.Malat seldom come alone – they are often bundled with other applications, so when you get infected with Trojan.Malat you can be sure that you will get the whole palette of computer threats. Another notable thing about Trojan.Malat is that it can also spread through removable flash drives, so you have to be careful about what you plug into your computer.

The tricky thing about this infection is that you cannot be exactly sure when or how to get infected. As Trojan.Malat does not have a user interface, it is basically impossible to pinpoint the exact moment of infiltration. However, judging from the list of components that accompany Trojan.Malat, the most common symptoms of the infection would be slow computer and slow internet connection. You can actually determine whether you have Trojan.Malat or not by opening Windows Task Manager and looking for process files related to the Trojan. For example, RemoteInf.exe, MsMxEng.exe or AudioHD.exe – these are malicious processes that cause a lot of damage to your system (for other Trojan-related files, check the list under this description).

Apart from slowing down your computer Trojan.Malat can connect to the Internet and download other malicious files and execute them without even prompting you about it. It overrides a lot of keys in the registry to hide its presence from security products and to load together with your system, whenever you turn on your computer. Not to mention that Trojan.Malat disables Windows File Protection System to inflict more damage onto your computer.

It can also monitor your Internet browsing habits, so that it could drop another malware onto your system, making it seem that it is a usual program related to your habits. Also, Trojan.Malat is able to read email addresses and phone book details, so it is an effective personal information thief that has to be dealt with immediately.

Due to the fact that in order to remove Trojan.Malat manually you might need to have advanced computing skills, consider the possibility of terminating the Trojan with a legitimate antimalware program. A program of choice would not only erase Trojan.Malat automatically, but you would also be able to perform a full system scan looking for other possible infections.
