Trojan.Win32.Patched.ka

Trojan.Win32.Patched.ka is a Trojan that downloads and installs malware while disabling security settings and applications. This Trojan is reported to focus on stealing passwords and other private information by dropping spyware programs, causing Trojan.Win32.Patched.ka to be a prime culprit for potential keylogging. The Patched.ka Trojan may be difficult to detect due to compression methods and can attack most versions of Windows, so don't judge the book by its cover or assume you're safe just because you're using a new version of an OS.

How Trojan.Win32.Patched.ka Exploits Cracks in Your Security

Since Trojan.Win32.Patched.ka is both a Trojan and a probable spyware-enabler Trojan.Win32.Patched.ka has serious incentive to stay hidden when infecting a computer. Some sources indicate that certain versions of Trojan.Win32.Patched.ka can spread through networks; this can be prevented by scanning network-shared files before using them on any individual networked machine. Trojan.Win32.Patched.ka may be compressed or packed by an external program; this reduces Trojan.Win32.Patched.ka's size and makes Trojan.Win32.Patched.ka hard for anti-malware programs to detect during installation.

Trojans like Trojan.Win32.Patched.ka can be downloaded onto your computer directly by a hostile website if your security settings are poor enough. However, they're usually acquired through intentional downloads of infected or mislabeled files instead, which can be uploaded to free application warehouse sites or to peer-to-peer file-sharing networks.
