Trojan.AngryAngel is a cyber threat that also may be detected as 'Trojan.MadAngel' by some anti-malware software. This threatening application is designed to infect '.EXE' and '.SCR' files found on the victim's computer, and use them to carry out its threatening operations. Apart from infecting files that match this requirement, Trojan.AngryAnge also may modify the Windows Registry by creating an entry whose purpose is to launch the Trojan's corrupted module automatically as soon as Windows loads.
Trojan.AngryAngel works like a Trojan downloader, which establishes background connections to a remote host, and may use this to download additional threats on the compromised computer.

Unfortunately, there's no accurate information regarding the distribution patterns used to spread Trojan.AngryAngel, but it is very likely that this Trojan's payload may be found in fake software downloads, pirated content, corrupted e-mail attachments, and other digital content that may often be used to spread threatening content.

Due to Trojan.AngryAngel's attack vector, its victims might not learn about the infection until it is too late to minimize the damage it causes. This threat is harmless on its own, but due to its ability to install additional threats, it may turn a reliable computer into a threat infested machine that may expose the user's files and information to con artists quickly. Preventing Trojan.AngryAngel from infecting your computer is a task that requires one simple thing – installing and activating a reputable anti-malware software suite.
