Trojan.Adject is a detection name used for an irritating Trojan whose presence on a computer might be accompanied by annoying changes to the default Web browser's behavior. Unlike many other Trojans, this one does not have a harmful purpose and, instead, it is programmed to inject advertisements on all websites that the users visit via their default system Web browser. To inject the ads, the Trojan uses a pre-defined JavaScript code, which is inserted into the opened page. While Trojan.Adject is only used to deliver ads at the moment, Trojan.Adject might evolve into using its capabilities for more threatening purposes. PC threats like this one are not to be underestimated, and their removal should be your top priority.

It is likely that the executable file used to launch Trojan.Adject is being spread via pirated software, pirated media content, and other dubious files that may be spread via peer-to-peer sharing websites. We advise PC users to avoid suspicious download locations and websites linked to pirated or illicit digital content since these are the most likely places to come across cyber threats.

To ensure that your computer will never be harmed by threats like Trojan.Adject, you also should make sure to use a reputable and up-to-date anti-virus software suite, which offers both passive and active protection.
