Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog – the Spy That You'll Never See Coming

SpywareRemove.com malware research experts have found that variants of Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog may use different methods to conceal themselves, but all Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog infections noted so far will attempt some form of obfuscation to avoid being seen. One prominent method that Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog has been seen using is to infect a normal system process, such has svchost.exe, while others may create a hidden process; such processes will not appear in Task Manager or other memory process-monitoring programs. Although in a distinct minority, some Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog Trojans will create a randomly-named process instead, presumably in hopes of hiding from sheer lack of recognition.

All of the above methods allow Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog to continue its spying and Trojan attacks without hindrances, since Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog will launch by default whenever Windows starts. Exceptionally secure startup methods, such as Safe Mode, may let you access Windows without giving Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog a chance to insert itself into the proceedings.

What You Can't See About Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog Can Still Hurt You

Even though Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog may not show many signs of being on your PC, the potential fallout from any Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog infection can be quite severe. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have noticed screenshot-capturing features as well as keylogging in Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog and closely-related Trojan threats.

Once stolen, this information is transmitted over to criminal hands, and you may be able to notice Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog activity by watching for unusual port, network or firewall setting changes.

Some Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog variants will also gather network information that could be used to identify your PC or engage in other acts that are typical of Trojans, including installing other harmful programs, download arbitrary files, and deleting preexisting files or folders. These actions are controlled by configuration information that Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog receives from a remote server, which allows different Trojan-PWS.Win32.Bjlog infections to create wildly different attacks.
