Trojan.ADH.SMH is a Trojan that uses rootkit techniques to take complete control over the computer. Trojan.ADH.SMH may be used to install other threats, including banking Trojans, viruses, worms and a variety of other infections. Malware researchers consider that Trojan.ADH.SMH represents a severe threat to computer users, potentially causing the loss of classified data. If there is a chance that your machine has been exposed to Trojan.ADH.SMH, a reliable security program should be used to remove Trojan.ADH.SMH completely. In many cases, security software may not be capable of detecting or removing Trojan.ADH.SMH. Make sure that your anti-malware software is completely up-to-date and that it has anti-rootkit capabilities. If the problems on your computer persist and the presence of Trojan.ADH.SMH or other threats are not detected by your anti-malware software, it may be possible that it will be required a specialized anti-rootkit tool to remove all components associated with Trojan.ADH.SMH entirely.
Why Trojan.ADH.SMH Needs to be out of Your Computer Quickly?
In most cases, Trojan.ADH.SMH is distributed using spam email attachments or attack websites linked to redirect scripts. These two methods are not difficult to understand. In the case of spam email attachments, cybercrooks send out spam email messages containing attachments disguised as legitimate documents, such as hotel or airline ticket reservation confirmations or links to breaking news stories. When these links or files are accessed, Trojan.ADH.SMH or another threat is installed. Attack websites used to distribute threats like Trojan.ADH.SMH typically use exploit kits to identify and exploit vulnerabilities on visitors' computers. Computer users are frequently redirected from a compromised, legitimate website through the use of Java scripts or redirect Trojans, forcing them to visit threatening URLs where Trojan.ADH.SMH and other threats are installed on their computer.
Computer users will detect the presence of Trojan.ADH.SMH on their computer not because Trojan.ADH.SMH itself causes symptoms, but because Trojan.ADH.SMH may install other threats on the affected computer. Trojan.ADH.SMH has been linked to banking Trojan tactics as well as to a variety of PUPs. If your computer is suddenly filled with unwanted components, a rootkit like Trojan.ADH.SMH may be the cause.
