Trojan.MSIL.Stealthmutant.A.Enc

Trojan.MSIL.Stealthmutant.A.Enc is a very malicious computer virus that can secretly steal sensitive data and take full control of critical system processes and tasks in your computer. Security professionals classify Trojan.MSIL.Stealthmutant.A.Enc as a Trojan Horse that is reported to fool their victims with various cover up infection strategies.

Typically, such a Trojan threat will be disguised as a harmless application or software that is available free of charge on some low-quality or pirated site. Of course, it’s never a safe idea to download material from such web pages, firstly because it’s illegal, and secondly because this may increase the chance of a close encounter with a harmful infection such as Trojan.MSIL.Stealthmutant.A.Enc, Wup.exe or Multi Speed Up.

Unfortunately, the main issue is that it is quite impossible to really know if a certain piece of software or web content has a Trojan embedded in it since these threats may also distribute via spam messages, different attractive looking ads, pop-ups, email attachments and more.

A stable, up-to-date antivirus software will , of course, help you spot the hidden danger, although this is not necessarily true to new viruses (also known as Zero-Day malware) that have just been discovered. The reason is, most of the antivirus programs rely on their virus database to identify threats and if the given Trojan has not been added to the antivirus’ malware database yet, it may not be detected. In those scenarios, and if you haven’t updated your security tool from some time, the level of protection of your machine may be greatly decreased and the likelihood of detecting new dangers like Trojan.MSIL.Stealthmutant.A.Enc on time may be greatly reduced. As a result, you may end up being attacked without any clue.
