Once Trojan.FakeInit reaches your computer, it infiltrates your system and successfully hides itself using a rootkit technique. This way it can act without your notice, and your PC becomes vulnerable to various additional infections. It can be difficult detecting sinister Trojan operating and controlling parts of your system, especially because it does not have an interface of a fake antivirus program that Trojan.FakeInit can initiate (e.g. Internet Security 2010, Antivirus AntiSyware 2011). However, there are some factors that could make you doubt your system’s functionality. At first, your PC slows down, and soon enough you see that something is controlling your Windows, and your Task Manger is blocked!

There is a number of files that Trojan.FakeInit hides in your system, but be extra careful if you notice frmwrk32.exe or ntdll64.exe process files running. These files are very harmful! frmwrk32.exe can read your emails and phone book details, putting your personal data at risk. Do not have a doubt that Trojan.FakeInit will collect this sensitive information, allowing hackers to use it to profit from you. The malicious file also works as a malware downloader, stops Windows Defender, modifies your desktop and can hide itself from active security tools.

Another malicious file modifies the legitimate Windows DLL component mousehook.dll using its original name, and is found in c:\windows. The malware is capable of resisting detection of legitimate security tool, but you can determine the authenticity of this file by looking at its size, as the original file size is 3,584 bytes, and the file active via Trojan.FakeInit is nearly eight times bigger (27,648 bytes). All of the malicious files work together to make your system as vulnerable as possible, and mousehook.dll is an important part of Trojan.FakeInit, as it helps malware communicate inside the system.

Trojan.FakeInit is a very dangerous and cryptic Trojan, and if you manage to detect it in your Windows, it is not recommended that you try removing it yourself. Only an updated legitimate antispyware and antivirus software combination could do the job properly. Do not wait before it is too late and remove Trojan.FakeInit immediately. Get rid of it, and do not let this malicious infection take over your system and breach your personal security!
