WiryJMPer Dropper

WiryJMPer Dropper is a type of malware that delivers other malware onto the target computer. Therefore, when you go down to removing WiryJMPer Dropper, you should also remove another infection that this Trojan “dropped” on your system. For that, the best way to detect malicious infections is by scanning your system with a licensed security tool.

You can find the manual removal instructions at the bottom of this description. However, if you do not feel confident enough to deal with these intruders on your own, you can always leave the malware removal to a professional antispyware tool.

This malware dropper is dangerous because it uses various tools to hide its presence and its real intentions. It is very common for things like WiryJMPer Dropper to masquerade as something that they’re not. Research specialists say that this malware dropped poses an ABBC Coin wallet. In other words, it tries to pass for a virtual currency wallet so that users would be more willingly to interact with it. However, if users interact with this intruder, WiryJMPer Dropper eventually brings over the Netwire payload.

What is a Netwire malware payload? Netwire is a group of RAT infections. RAT stands for remote access Trojan. These Trojans enter target systems with the intention to steal passwords and other sensitive information. Therefore, if you have been exposed to WiryJMPer Dropper, it is very likely that more Trojans will soon enter your system, and you could experience a serious data theft.

Needless to say, no one wants to get infected with something like that. However, quite a few users still manage to catch these threats because it can be hard to notice the potential infection. For instance, we already mentioned that WiryJMPer Dropper poses as a cryptocurrency wallet, but the file for this dropper also looks like an app that is used to convert CD and DVD images to ISO. However, it should be pointed out that the file size is at least three times as big as it should be, which is automatically suspicious.

WiryJMPer Dropper and the Netwire malware that this program delivers might not be as flashy as some of the ransomware infections that currently terrorizing the Internet. Thus, it might be challenging to denote the exact moment when your computer gets infected with WiryJMPer Dropper, but you can sure do a lot to avoid this infection.

Our research team says that usually, such Trojans enter target systems when users download something from unreliable parties. Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if WiryJMPer Dropper came through spam email attachments (which is still the most popular ransomware distribution method!) or file bundles. It means that all of us have to be careful about what we download and what we encounter online.

While it is important to invest in a licensed antispyware tool, it might not be enough to protect us from various threats if we aren’t responsible about the way we behave online. For example, we should be more careful about opening file attachments that we receive from unknown senders. We should also refrain from downloading programs from third-party sources. Of course, that doesn’t guarantee that we will avoid the likes of WiryJMPer Dropper 100%, but at least it will make us safer.

As mentioned, you can remove WiryJMPer Dropper manually. The manual removal can be quite bothersome, so if you do not want to do that on your own, get yourself a legitimate security tool that will terminate the infection automatically. What’s more, let’s not forget that WiryJMPer Dropper delivers the Netwire RAT infection. So, you should definitely scan your computer with a security tool to see whether it’s there or not. You have to protect your personal information at any cost.

Finally, how to know that you are infected with WiryJMPer Dropper? Unfortunately, Trojan infections are often stealthy, and if you are not attentive enough, it might take a while before you realize that your system is infected. For that, it would be a good idea to run regular system scans with a security tool of your choice. If you feel that you need help with that, feel free to drop us a comment.
