Trojan.Danglo

Trojan.Danglo is an insidious Trojan which was first released on 5 January, 2010. This Trojan enters the system under suspicious circumstances, and then proceeds to download and execute arbitrary files to the infected system without any user interaction being required. Because all of Trojan.Danglo’s actions are performed in the system’s background, and the fact that there are no distinguishable symptoms associated with this threat the user will find it difficult to identify and remove Trojan.Danglo without some help.

The Trojan also operates under various aliases, some of which are:

Trojan.Danglo enters the system by bundling itself together with other malware, or through P2P applications such as instant messenger applications. It does not attract any attention to itself and will remain completely in the background.

This Trojan will download more malware to the system, and will make it easier for other harmful threats to gain entry to the system. It is therefore important to limit the scope of the damage Trojan.Danglo will be able to cause.

At the end of the day the only way you will be able to protect your PC from the damage this rogue is certain to inflict, and to regain control of your PC and restore its security is to permanently and effectively destroy Trojan.Danglo. This can easily be done by making use of a genuine and powerful security tool which will not only identify and eliminate Trojan.Danglo but also protect against similar future attacks.
