Poweliks is a very peculiar Trojan infection that doesn't depend on the existence of a binary file from Windows to keep its infection running on an infected machine. Poweliks may be detected under several names such as Troj/PeeacMem-A, Troj/Agent-AFZM, Mal/Katusha-J, Mal/Zbot-QY, etc. Poweliks may take over the targeted computer through exploit kits or a spam e-mail allegedly sent by the US or Canadian postal service that, if opened, will create a backdoor on the infected computer. Poweliks' payload consists of fake warnings about threats, personal files encryption (that Poweliks will demand the payment of a ransom to be unlocked), unwanted advertisements, accessing a remote server to get instructions and more. Poweliks also may collect system data and send it to third parties. Although not considered a high-level threat, malware experts advise removing Poweliks upon detection. Computer users should use an updated anti-malware product to help them accomplish Poweliks complete removal.
