Trojan.Smoaler

Trojan.Smoaler does not have an interface, its infiltration ways are highly latent, and it can be hidden from detection and removal of existing Windows security tools, if they are not kept updated at all times. The surreptitious Trojan can collect your highly sensitive information and send it to despicable virtual schemers, who will use your banking details to generate profit, or will employ your accounts to spread the infection! And even though it might seem impossible to detect and delete Trojan.Smoaler from your Windows OS, you should look out for even most insignificant system’s changes, and read along to find the bet way to get rid of the dangerous Trojan, which may also be recognized by these names:

DDoS:Win32/Dofoil.A
Trojan.Downloader.Dofoil
Trojan.Downloader.Dofoil.O
TrojanDownloader:Win32/Dofoil

Even though the infectious program can invade a system in many different ways, you should be extremely careful of fraudulent spam email attachments, which have served cyber criminals in thousands of Trojan.Smoaler attacks. Such fictitious emails always come with bogus attachments, which initiate infection’s activation, once opened! So, look out for similar information, as stated below:

Once one of these treacherous attachments is opened, dangerous Trojan.Smoaler’s executable csrss.exe (worm) will start its dangerous, high-risk tasks. Firstly, it will add malignant Trojan’s processes to the Windows startup, then modify Windows Security Center Antivirus and Firewall features to hide the infection from removal. After malware is camouflaged, it will delete certain system’s processes, remove access to Registry Editor and Task Manager, compromise Windows Host File, system runtime policies, and breach autoexec.bat file and Outlook address book data, to use it for further Trojan.Smoaler contagion. Also note that this malignant executable has various alias forms, and could attack your system with a differently titled (usually cloaked) name. A few examples: svchost.exe, services.exe, taskmgr.exe, system.exe, smss.exe, winamp.exe, etc.

Restricted access to Registry Editor and Task Manager means that the horrendous Trojan cannot be removed manually, which is why you should not venture into this complicated task, if you have no previous experience. And even if you have some malware removal knowledge, we still recommend installing legal security safeguarding tools, which would not only remove Trojan.Smoaler from your computer, but would also ensure that your system is no longer vulnerable to dangerous Windows malware.
