Trojan.SlayerRAT is known to be a dangerous computer infection that usually finds ways to enter computers without permission. People might not know for a long time that they have malicious software installed on their systems because Trojan infections have extraordinary camouflaging skills; however, if your security tool ever detects a threat with this name, you should not ignore that since Trojan.SlayerRAT is a serious computer threat that can cause many problems if a user lets it stay.
