Trojan.Sercrypt.A

Trojan.Sercrypt.A is a cyber parasite which might come across as a useful program. However, it is a malicious application which can be just as destructive as any serious virus out there, even though it does not replicate itself. Due to the fact that Trojan.Sercrypt.A puts your system at great risk, it is highly recommended to scan your computer and see if you have the treat already. And if you do, you need to kill Trojan.Sercrypt.A at once.

This Trojan can have many ways to enter your computer. The user has to be very careful about clicking on random links to infected sites. You might think that you would still need to click the download button to get infected, but in reality, sometimes the Trojan download can be programmed to start automatically, and you can get infected before you know it.

How to know whether you have been infected? Well, you can always use the suggested malware scanner to check for any contamination in your computer, or you can open your Windows Task Manager, and search for particular processes which are associated with Trojan.Secrypt.A. For example there are such processes as Boonty.exe, TiRoS Anti-Autorun Collection.exe and Winmode.exe.

In case of TiRoS Anti-Autorun Collection.exe, this process is associated with malware droppers and worms. It is highly resistant to the interrogation of security products, and it uses low level functions, to avoid being detected by other system processes. Boonty.exe originally is a process from company BOONTY, which belongs to the product of Boonty Games. However, it can be a malicious process if hijacked by Trojan.Secrypt.A. The same can be applied to Winmode.exe. In some cases it is reported as a safe process, but if the Trojan makes it work for itself, then Winmode.exe can hook a code into various processes, which allows hackers to take control of the system or track the keyboard input, mouse activity and screen contents.

Trojan.Secrypt.A is a parasite which can steal valuable information from your computer, and even download other malicious software onto your system. If you see the previously mentioned processes in your Task Manager, you are strongly advised to run a full system scan using a reliable security tool, which will help you detect this piece of software. And when you have it detected, make sure that you delete Trojan.Secrypt.A before it inflicts any more damage to your computer.
