Imklaunchagent on Mac

Trojan horse viruses like the ones that disguise themselves as the Imklaunchagent process are highly versatile in the things that they can be set to accomplish on the victim’s machine. Therefore, we cannot pinpoint the exact purpose of this particular Trojan horse on your particular computer. But we can reveal to you some of the most common usages that hackers employ this malware category for, and so you’ll get some idea of what it is you’re faced with.

Before we go any further, however, we must make it clear that the Imklaunchagent process itself is not harmful or malicious. It is a legitimate Mac process that handles language inputs for Japanese, Chinese, and others. However, it seems that this process is oftentimes targeted by dangerous Trojan Horse infections that try to hijack it or disguise themselves as it.

Now, most users have heard of Trojans at some point and it’s common knowledge that these viruses are no joke. But not everyone knows exactly what they are capable of doing.

For instance, Trojans like Imklaunchagent-related ones are notorious thieves. They can steal information from your system, and even copy files and enable remote access to them for the hackers behind them. In addition, malware like this can even uproot your entire traffic and send it to the hacker servers, so that everything you do online becomes privy to the cyber criminals.

Similarly, they can use techniques like keystroke logging, as well as hacking into your webcam and/or mic to keep track of. Whether it’s to rob your house, obtain sensitive information or eavesdrop on corporate secrets – there’s plenty of ends to these treacherous means.

Thinking in a slightly different direction, Trojans like the ones that hijack the Imklaunchagent process can also be set to exploit your system resources. For example, your computer can be turned into a bot for the purpose of distributing spam or infecting other computers in its network, so that way the cybercriminals have a whole army of bots. And this army can be put to work, say, mining cryptocurrencies.

As you can see, the possibilities are endless and no one can say for sure how long you’ve had this virus on your PC so far. The Trojans are notoriously sneaky and they often evade detection because they don’t really exhibit any noticeable symptoms. But by removing the Trojan that’s mimicking Imklaunchagent, you will certainly put an end to whatever malicious deeds this virus was performing. Be sure to equip your PC with a high-quality antivirus tool if you haven’t already, and consider upgrading the existing one, if it allowed this malware to sneak in without notice.

One last thing we must mention before we give you the Trojan removal guide is that, sometimes, the Imklaunchagent process itself may have bugs that causes it to use excessive amounts of system resources. Therefore, it is perfectly possible that the process itself could be making your Mac slower without the presence of an actual Trojan in the computer. Nevertheless, it is highly advisable to still check your Mac for any hidden threats that may be using Imklaunchagent as disguise if this process seems to be behaving oddly.
