Be warned – a new Trojan Horse threat has been recently unleashed upon the online world and it is currently looking for its next victim. The virus’ name is Trojan.Gen.9 and similarly to most other representatives of its class, Trojan.Gen.9 is a very dangerous piece of malware that has the potential to cause all kinds of damage and other issues to any computer that it manages to infect.

There are many who have already had their systems infiltrated by this nasty malware and it is likely that the number of Trojan.Gen.9 victims is only going to go up throughout the next days/weeks/months. The best way to ensure that your machine stays protected against this cyber threat is to make sure that you are well informed with regards to the most characteristic traits of this malware piece such as how it gets distributed, how it can be detected and what methods can be used for its removal in case your machine has already gotten attacked by it. Below, we will go over all of those aspects in an attempt to help our readers keep their PCs and personal data safe and protected. Therefore, we strongly advise you to read everything that is to follow on this page – the information posted here can greatly improve your chances of keeping your machine secure and protected against this insidious Trojan Horse virus.

Trojans and their most typical traits

Similarly to the majority of virus programs that belong to the Trojan Horse family, Trojan.Gen.9 is a really stealthy malware threat. It is likely that it won’t give any symptoms once int infects your computer and in many cases you might not even realize that something malicious has found its way to your computer. Note that there are all kinds of ways in which a threat like this one can infiltrate one’s PC.

In most cases, the distribution method used to spread the virus and enable it to reach more computers includes some form of disguise. Generally, anything on the Internet could be a potential Trojan Horse source. Oftentimes, spam e-mails and social media messages with the malware attached to them in the form of a misleading link or file are user to distribute such malware programs. Also, many hackers put their viruses inside pirated programs that some users might download and install on their computers and in that way also allow the Trojan inside their systems. Anther popular Trojan Horse distribution method is the malvertising where deceitful adverts are used to lure the user into clicking on the malware’s source. Many other similar ways of spreading such viruses are oftentimes used. As we said above, anything on the Internet can get turned into a malware distribution tool so you really need to be careful and vigilant at all times while you are browsing the World Wide Web.

As far as the infection with the virus is concerned, it normally takes place without getting noticed by the user due to the fact that most Trojans lack any visible infection indications. Still, it’s preferable if you are observant and if you take notice of the way your PC behaves because if your machine displays some odd behavior that is unusual such as using too much CPU or RAM or experiencing frequent errors and crashes for no visible reason, this might be a possible red flag about a Trojan Horse infection. Again, there’s no guarantee that if Trojan.Gen.9 manages to infiltrate your system any of those symptoms would be present but it won’t hurt if you are watchful and prepared to take precautions in case that you notice any of them.

Ways hackers can use Trojan Horse malware

There are numerous possible ways in which a malware piece like Trojan.Gen.9, IDP.SEMS.RAT.Bifrost3 or Trojan.Win32.Hosts2 could get utilized by its criminal creators. It’s no secret that viruses which belong to the Trojan Horse are typically highly versatile and thus capable of carrying out different malicious tasks from within the machines that they have infected. For instance, everybody knows that such cyber threats could damage and corrupt the system and the data on the attacked machine. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the vast array of malicious abilities that such viruses normally possess. Aside from being able to harm your machine, a Trojan might also be able to spy on you, acquire sensitive data from your computer and from your online accounts, take control over your PC and force it to use its resources for various tasks, infect the machine with Ransomware or other nasty viruses – the list goes on and on. Now that you know just how dangerous a malware piece like Trojan.Gen.9 could be, you should make sure to remove it in case it’s currently inside your computer.
