Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej

Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej tends to be delivered onto a system via a Trojan application. This Trojan mimics Windows firewall notifications and asks if the user would like to enable protection. Once the user has clicked on the button: “Enable Protection”, this will actually ensure the Trojan is installed, along with Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej. Once Email-Worm.Iksmas.ej infiltrates a computer, it begins offering the user the paid version of the software.
