Uwamson

Uwamson is a Trojan Horse that can exploit system vulnerabilities and introduce other malware into the computer. Most commonly, Uwamson can infect the computer with ransomware and provide cover for it to secretly complete its agenda.

If your computer has been infected with a Trojan called Uwamson, it is important that you do what is needed to safely remove the virus from your system. Such malware can go unnoticed for weeks, months and even years. So it’s a very good thing you’ve been able to detect Uwamson in the first place and now have the chance to take appropriate action to uninstall it. To help you with the process, we have prepared a comprehensive removal guide below this post. It contains manual instructions and a professional removal tool for an in-depth system scan.

Now, the first thing that you probably want to know is what Uwamson is doing on your computer and how negative the consequences of its presence could be. And, sadly, we can’t give you a prompt response to that because the truth is there are too many possible malicious actions that a Trojan Horse like this one can perform. The Trojans are multi-functional pieces of malware and they have the ability to perform a wide range of different tasks.

What damage may Uwamson cause?

Perhaps the Trojan’s most common purpose is data theft. There are numerous ways the virus can be programmed to achieve this theft. Ifections like this one and Wup.exe can keep tabs on your keystrokes and, in this way, record everything you type on your keyboard. That is how the cyber criminals behind it can gain access to your passwords, your financial details, and other sensitive information you may type or keep on your computer. Apart from keylogging, however, there are far more advanced methods that would give the crooks full remote access to your machine and everything you’re doing online and offline. For instance, the hackers who are in control can program the Trojan to spy on you by hacking your camera or microphone. In this way, they can see you and hear all of your conversations. And if this is not dreadful enough, the possibility of inserting more another malware program, such as a Ransomware or a Rootkit, inside your computer surely is. Many Trojans could secretly deliver more malicious code inside the already compromised system and, therefore, it is important to remove the virus quickly and safely. Ideally, this should be done as soon as you reach the end of this article.

After you complete the steps in the removal guide below, however, you should also be quick to implement some security measures to make sure your computer doesn’t get infected again. Downloading a reliable security program and running a full system scan is a good start. In addition, try to keep away from the obvious sources of malware such as unauthorized websites, pirated or adult content distribution sites, spam messages, and random online ads. Common malware transmitters are also the malicious advertisements you may see online, so don’t get fooled by the flashing pop-ups and bogus software upgrade requests that may suddenly appear on your screen.

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—-Windows—CurrentVersion—Run– Random
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—Internet Explorer—-Main—- Random
