VanToMRAT is a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that can proof to be quite threatening, due to its ability to exfiltrate sensitive information from infected computers, as well as to provide the remote attacker with full control over the victim's machine. VanToMRAT allows the threat's operator to access and control important Windows features such as the Command Prompt, Registry Editor, and Task Manager. Furthermore, VanToMRAT has the ability to capture screenshots from the user's desktop, as well as to access connected Web cameras and take screenshots from it. All information that VanToMRAT collects from victims may be transferred to the attacker via email or FTP, so it is safe to say that victims of VanToMRAT may end up revealing information to their attackers unknowingly.

VanToMRAT is free to use, and any ill-minded user can take advantage of it, even if they don't have experience in the field of cyber offenses. This makes VanToMRAT an exceptionally dangerous threat, since it may hide anywhere – software downloads and updates hosted on unreliable pages, pirated content, fake downloads, e-mail attachments, social media spam, etc. The best protection against threats like VanToMRAT is to use the services of a trustworthy anti-malware software suite that can detect and eliminate VanToMRAT and similar threats before they get a chance to cause any damage.

Users who suspect that their computers may have been exposed to a VanToMRAT infection should take the necessary actions to ensure that there is no threatening software running on their computers immediately. Due to this threatening tool's tendency to drop its files to multiple system folders by using different names, manual removal is not a possibility, and users should always rely on professional anti-malware software to take care of the removal process.
