Exploit:HTML/Axpergle.N is a harmful cyber threat that takes advantage of the detected vulnerabilities in your system. The dangerous tool may enter if there are loopholes in the installed versions of Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Flash Player. Various HTML errors may also contribute to the installation of Exploit:HTML/Axpergle.N. Some of the victims report that they have clicked on a suspicious e-mail link prior to the infection. Others say they have been redirected towards some compromised pages. If the exploit kit finds a way to enter your system, you will most likely not observe any immediate issues. This threat doesn't harm your computer directly as its purpose is to download additional malware. The security specialists have managed to link Exploit:HTML/Axpergle.N with TrojanDropper:Win32/Evotob.A. What may follow if the latter reaches your system can be described as the "snowball effect". Any additional malware that gets access to your system will load more threats until your PC is overwhelmed with harmful software. In the initial phases of the attack, there may not be too many visible symptoms. As the newer dangerous tools arrive, you may experience malfunctions of some elements of the system. The process of downloading malicious programs may significantly slow your Internet connection. Upon the slightest suspicion that you may be infected, you should immediately perform an in-depth scan with reputable security software.
