The Adsuproot Trojan is a threatening program that may use corrupted Microsoft DirectX files and collected digital signatures to facilitate is operations and remain undetected. The Adsuproot Trojan is dispersed among Windows users via spam emails and is designed to generate pay-per-click revenue for its creators. The Adsuproot Trojan is known under other names like Rottentu, Rustirdos and Falsesign, and may place its files in the Temp folder under the Windows directory. The Adsuproot Trojan may launch a shadow instance of your default Internet browser that it can use to click on ads and might decrease your overall computer performance. The Rottentu (Adsuproot) Trojan may have modified your Windows Registry values to run as a concealed task in the Windows Task Manager, and you may see your Internet browser running all the time while your PC is turned on.
