WeBM Trojan
WebM Trojan is a version of the Trojan Horse malware family and it can secretly infect your computer without your knowledge. WebM Trojan, once in the computer, can target different system files, cause software corruption, learn sensitive private details about you, and even control your computer.
If you’ve never encountered a Trojan before and do not know what to expect from WebM Trojan, we are here to give you information about this malware threat, help you deal with it, and provide you with tips on how to fend off such threats in the future.
The WeBM Discord Trojan
If this Trojan Horse has managed to attack your machine despite the presence of a quality antivirus program on it, then the reason for this is probably related to the fact that the WebM Discord Trojan is a very new threat. Most antivirus programs, even strong and expensive ones, tend to have a hard time detecting newer Trojan Horse threats because of the main malware-detection method employed by them.
In almost all cases, an antivirus program would primarily rely on its database when it comes to detecting incoming virus attacks. For the most part, this method works really well – as long as a given malware threat has already been listed in the security program’s database, the antivirus should have no problem detecting and recognizing it before the virus manages to cause any damage on the computer. However, as we mentioned, WebM Trojan is a recently released Trojan Horse – one that is not fully researched yet and that is more than likely absent from the databases of many otherwise popular antivirus programs. In many cases, this is the factor that allows Trojans like WebM Trojan, Altruistics, Gallery.exe to enter the computer unnoticed and undisturbed.

If you aren’t sure if this virus really is on your computer, we can give you some examples of the potential infection symptoms. For starters, Trojans oftentimes cause some sort of system corruption by tinkering with different system data and settings. This could, in some cases, lead to sudden crashes, unexpected and unusual program and Windows errors, as well as overall slowness of the computer. If you have also been attacked by a Ransomware virus that has locked up most of your files, this is also a possible indication that there may be a Trojan like WebM Trojan in the system because Trojans are oftentimes used as Ransomware-distributing tools.
Speaking of possible ways this threat could be utilized, Ransomware distribution is only one of the things that infections like WebM Trojan may be able to do. In addition to this, such Trojans may spy on you, gather sensitive data, and afterward blackmail you or even steal money directly from your banking accounts. Additionally, a lot of Trojan viruses can gain elevated privileges on the attacked computer and then begin to launch different processes without your knowledge and approval. Such processes could be related to illegal BitCoin mining using your computer, distribution of spam messages, execution of DDoS attacks, and more.
