If you know for sure that you need to delete InnfiRAT from your operating system already, there is no time to waste. Quickly read this report to learn how to eliminate the infection. This report also includes tips on Windows security and malware attack prevention. If you have any questions you want to be addressed by our research team, add them to the comments section below.
How does InnfiRAT work?
InnfiRAT might invade your operating system with the help of other infections active on your operating system. The threat could also slither in using spam emails and bundled downloaders. Cybercriminals could use all kinds of unpatched vulnerabilities to drop it onto the computer without you knowing about it. Therefore, if you are currently trying to protect your operating system against this Trojan, we strongly recommend that you implement security software, install all updates, upgrade outdated applications, and also exercise caution with new downloads and suspicious emails. If you already need to remove InnfiRAT from your operating system, do not forget that it will remain vulnerable unless you take care of its protection in the future. So, why exactly do you need to worry about the Trojan? To put it simply, this malware can gather any and all information that might be of any value to the cybercriminals. At first, the threat terminates browsers and certain running processes (pchunter, procceshacker, procexp, procexp64, and procmon). After that, scheduled tasks are created and commands given remotely are run.
Did you know that your browsing web cookies can hold a lot of information about you? Well, they can, and even login details could be embedded within them. That is why InnfiRAT goes after them, after which it successfully can delete them too. The infection also steals data associated with any active Litecoin and Bitcoin wallets. The creepiest function of the Trojan might be its ability to capture screenshots. That means that every time you launch your browser, visit online banking login pages, chat with someone online, view photos, read articles, work, or do anything else, the attackers behind InnfiRAT might be capturing it all. Even if cybercriminals do not get much from stealing cookies or if you do not own cryptocurrency wallets, the screen-grabbing functionality of this malware could help the attackers gather extremely sensitive information. This is why it is a MUST for you to change all passwords and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity after you remove the infection.
How to delete InnfiRAT
When we analyzed InnfiRAT, it was dropped to %APPDATA%, and the name of the .exe file that created the entire mess was “NvidiaDriver.exe.” Could this name be different? Absolutely. That being said, for now, we can expect %APPDATA% to be the drop-off point. If you can identify and remove InnfiRAT yourself, you should do it as soon as possible. What if it is not possible for you to get rid of this malware on your own? Do not panic because you have anti-malware software to save you. Install this software now, and have your entire operating system cleaned from whatever malware might have invaded it. Keep the software installed if you want it to continue protecting your operating system in the future. Needless to say, even if you decide to perform removal manually, you still should employ security software to assist you in defending your computer against malware in the future. After the threat is gotten rid of and your system is secured, do not forget to change all passwords.
