Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll

Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll is a component of a Win32/Chroject infection, a backdoor Trojan that exploits your PC for generating fake Web traffic. Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll may be related to significant drops in performance. Consequentially, you may see noticeably hampered software and overall OS stability from a Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll infection, but Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll doesn't enable any direct attacks against your PC. Anti-malware scans from appropriate security products should be able to identify and remove Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll, along with the other files associated with Chroject Trojans.

The Chrome that's out of Your Control

Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll is one of the several files exploited by Chroject Trojans specializing in hijacking a PC's resources to commit click fraud. Click fraud – or the act of generating fraudulent advertising 'clicks' – is one means by which third parties may produce personal revenue at the expense of their victims' hardware. In unusually extreme cases, Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll's resource usage may run the risk of causing harm to your PC. For most PC users, its presence merely will impact stability and performance on a user-friendliness level.

Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll helps install a customized variant of the Chrome browser, which hides itself in a default Application Data folder with a random file name. This variant of Chrome may be launched automatically and kept in-memory multiple times. The result of Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll's abuse is the loss of RAM and other system resources, and corresponding slowdowns, crashes and additional performance issues.

Neither Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll nor other components of Chroject take any extra steps to hide their memory processes. This limitation provides malware experts with yet another reason to recommend that PC users familiarize themselves with memory management tools like Task Manager. These standard utilities can be used to identify any processes, like Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll, that are launching automatically or using excessive memory.

Like any good click fraud Trojan, Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll doesn't load its Chrome instances visibly. Regardless of their choice of a default browser, Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll's victims will not see additional windows, tabs or advertisement pop-ups for Chrome.

Getting an Absence of Unwanted Advertisement Clicks

Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll doesn't direct its attacks against your PC as a prime target, but its presence does coincide with the equivalent of a backdoor vulnerability. Such a vulnerability may enable the installation of other threats besides Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll, and may be responsible for attacks that are well beyond this article's discussion of click fraud. Fortunately, the Chroject family, and its members, like Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll, have been detectable by many anti-malware vendors since 2014. However, some users have reported issues with Microsoft brand software failing to detect Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll.

If your PC experiences slowdowns or other problems that could be symptomatic of a Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll infection, anti-malware scans should be used for examining and, if necessary, disinfecting your PC. The use of randomized file names and misleading file locations increases the chances of manual removal methods deleting innocent files instead of Trojan:Win32/Croject.E!dll or other Chroject Trojans.
