Qarallax RAT

Qarallax RAT is a dangerous computer infection. It is a Trojan, but the letters RAT next to its name tell us that this program is a Remote Access Tool. It means that it can be used by a third party to access your system and steal sensitive information. It is your job to remove Qarallax RAT from your PC as soon as possible. We do understand that it might be a bit challenging to deal with such infections because they are not obvious. Nevertheless, you should be able to protect your system from such intruders if you regularly scan your PC with a licensed antispyware tool.

Aside from catching this infection very early on, it would be for the best to avoid it altogether. It is possible to bar such infections from entering your computer if you know how they spread around. Our research team says that Qarallax RAT usually spreads through spam email attachments. It means that this program employs the same distribution methods as the notorious ransomware infections, too.

It is really annoying when we get spammed with unnecessary content, but it also shows that it is possible to prevent Qarallax RAT from entering target systems as long as the users are careful enough. Spam emails often get filtered into the Junk folder, but some of them are sophisticated enough to slither into the main inbox, too.

Usually, spam emails that carry dangerous attachments come with a message that urges the user to act immediately. However, if you receive an email from an unknown sender and they seem to be bent on making you open the attached file, it is the first red flag that something is wrong. If you delete such an email or at least scan the file before opening it, you would definitely save yourself the trouble of dealing with Qarallax RAT (or any other dangerous infection for that matter) in the future.

Our research suggests that Qarallax RAT is written in the Java script, and it needs the script to run. If the infected system doesn’t have the necessary Java Script, this Trojan installs it along with the payload. Afterward, the program can perform a number of functions, depending on what its C&C tell it to do. We can take a look at the several things this Trojan is known to be capable of doing.

First, Qarallax RAT can get your mouse movements and clicks. Then, it can get your keyboard input, too. It means that this Trojan is capable of keylogging, and if it records all of your keystrokes, it could definitely steal your sensitive information. All the information collected by this infection is stored on your system, and then sent over to the remote server where the criminals behind Qarallax RAT analyze this data and perhaps use it for their personal gains.

Aside from keylogging, Qarallax RAT might also have access to your webcam and screen. It could be even more dangerous, considering this program could take screenshots of your desktop with all the sensitive information displayed on it. Likewise, Qarallax RAT can also steal your credentials, which would eventually result in an identity or a financial theft. The bottom line is that this Trojan is a really dangerous intruder that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

This infection could do even more damage if it infects corporate computer systems instead of individual desktops. Actually, it is far more likely that this infection would target strategic systems that contain a lot of sensitive information, so it is vital that companies and institutions educate their employees about cybersecurity if they want to avoid Qarallax RAT or mitigate the damage of the infection as much as possible.

Manual Qarallax RAT removal is not recommended unless you are an experienced computer user. It would also be a good idea to address a professional if you want to remove Qarallax RAT from your company’s computer system.

Either way, we give you the manual removal guide right below this description, too. Please remember that it’s not just about the security tool that you use. It’s not just about removing the infection. You have to be a responsible user who understands the risks that occur when you interact with unfamiliar content online. When in doubt, always ask for assistance!
