GootLoader

GootLoader is a computer threat that infects computers through the use of disguise and stealth. Researchers have categorized GootLoader as a virus of the Trojan horse category – the most widespread type of computer infections known for its versatility and ability to avoid detection.

The GootLoader malware

The GootLoader malware, in particular, is a very new addition to the Trojan horse family and as such it is possible that even advanced and reliable antivirus programs may fail to spot it when it attacks the computer.

The main reason for the inability of security programs to detect such new threats lies in the method pretty much all antivirus tools use to spot incoming malware attacks. To detect incoming threats, a typical antivirus program would rely on its database – this is an extensive and exhaustive list of all known malware threats that allows the security program to recognize and keep the attacking threat from infecting the computer. This list is constantly updated – whenever a new type of virus is created, the developers of the antivirus add it to the database. However, those updates don’t happen immediately – it takes time before the new virus is researched and added to the database of the antivirus. It also takes time before the user’s antivirus program receives the update that includes the information about the new threat. Until then, it is likely that the security tool won’t be able to stop the newly released threat. Because of this, attacks from recently released threats like GootLoader (also known as zero-day attacks) are so dangerous and unpredictable. Oftentimes, people don’t even realize that their PCs have been attacked. Furthermore, some Trojans could start processes in the computer that block the antivirus and/or prevent the user from installing a new security program.
