What is Trojan.ModifiedUPX?
Trojan.ModifiedUPX is a clandestine Windows infection which may be proliferated onto operating Windows systems without the knowledge of their users. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers warn that the malicious infection can be attached to bundled downloads, hide behind spam email attachments or various social engineering scams. The Trojan does not have an interface which makes it that much more difficult to detect and delete it from the computer. Nonetheless, if you do not remove the infection from the computer, there is a great chance that other clandestine threats will be dropped onto the system without your knowledge.
You certainly should keep your system guarded against data-stealing keyloggers or desktop-paralyzing ransomware threats. Unfortunately, these could have a chance to take over your PC if you did not delete Trojan.ModifiedUPX in time. Continue reading to learn more about the threat and its removal.
How does Trojan.ModifiedUPX act?
It has been discovered that Trojan.ModifiedUPX is an alias name for the well-known Virus.Obfuscator.YR, and there are tens of malignant files which are linked to the threat. If your PC is infected with the Trojan, there is a possibility that the malicious components lollipop.exe, insidminer.exe, iggeiggs.dll, servUTray.exe and winlogons.exe are running on your computer. As research shows, these files can act as rootkits which are generally extremely difficult to find and remove as their main task is to conceal the presence of malware.
The malicious files linked to the Trojan need to be removed as soon as possible because they can initiate a number of malicious processes. The devious components can hijack the Registry Editor, modify startup programs, release fictitious pop-up notifications and create communications to remote servers, which may act as a security backdoor. Do you think that winlogon.exe is an authentic Windows component? Do not be fooled because schemers have used the name to hide a truly malicious file which has been noted to steal private information. This mischievous file can record screen content, keystrokes, and mouse clicks to disclose your login ID/passwords. This could be used to corrupt your email accounts and initiate mass spam email attacks using your own address. Needless to say, if you do not want to be linked to the distribution of the malicious infection you need to remove Trojan.ModifiedUPX.
