Backdoor.Agent

Backdoor Agent is a computer infection that compromises your system security and opens a backdoor that allows other malware to enter your computer. It is commonly categorized as a cloaked malware, because it enters the system surreptitiously and remains hidden long enough to avoid being detected and create more trouble on your computer. Remove Backdoor Agent before your computer becomes swarmed with serious malicious infections.

If you do not know whether you are infected with Backdoor Agent or not, check your Task Manager for process files that are directly related to the backdoor. You can find a complete list of files and processes below this description, but ctfmon.exe should be enough to realize that Backdoor Agent is dangerous enough to jeopardize your entire system. For starters, this file is responsible for downloading hidden codes from remote websites which means that Backdoor Agent can connect to the Internet behind your back and communicate with other computer system via HTTP protocols.

Also, this backdoor hijacks legitimate system processes, such as alg.exe. Application Layer Gateway is an official service component for Windows Operating system. However, it can be hijacked by Backdoor Agent, so if alg.exe on your Task Manager process list is not located at System32 directory, it means that you are really infected with malware.

Backdoor Agent is hard to detect due to the fact that most of its components are polymorphic and so they can easily changer their structure. However, if you receive various system tray pop-ups, messages and error notifications, if you experience an onslaught of browser pop-ups, it is very likely that you are infected with Backdoor Agent. This backdoor tries its best to avoid being deleted, so it disables safe mode on your computer, and disables Windows Security Center.

Naturally, it is very troublesome to terminate Backdoor Agent on your own, considering its complicated nature. Therefore, we strongly advise investing in a powerful antimalware tool that can scan your system and remove Backdoor Agent automatically along with its components. Do make sure that your system is safeguarded against similar computer threats.
