Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A
Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A Description
As a browser hijacker that’s often accompanied by other types of Trojans, Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A can both control which websites you visit as well as create vulnerabilities that criminals may exploit to access your PC. Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A will launch itself without your permission and attempt to disguise part or all of its components as Windows processes and other types of friendly utilities. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers discourage any attempts to avoid Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A’s browser redirects without actually removing Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A due to the possibility of these vulnerabilities, and suggest a scan with appropriate anti-malware software to find and delete Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A to put a stop to its attacks.
Why Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A Wants Control of Your Web Browser
Although Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A may also exhibit other symptoms and configure itself to make additional attacks, Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A’s primary function is to grab your web browser and force it to ideal (for Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A’s criminal partners) destinations.
- Being redirected to hostile websites that promote phishing attacks, rogue security programs or drive-by-download attacks that install PC threats without your permission. Discrepancies between phishing sites and legitimate sites may be minor, although scamware-promoting sites are more obvious than the former due to their blatant marketing of fraudulent software.
- Being prevented from loading PC security sites or anti-malware sites. SpywareRemove.com malware analysts note that Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A may redirect you away from such sites in an immediate fashion or display fake warning screens that incorrectly-imply that these sites are hostile.
- Poor computer performance due to Trojan:Win32/Reveton.A using your computer’s resources to conduct DDoS attacks (traffic-flooding attacks that can crash websites).
