Trojan.Confuser is a threatening software capable of injecting into a system. Computer users that encounter Trojan.Confuser on their machines may see fake warnings claiming that their machines have been infected by a virus. Trojan.Confuser may change permission policies and also may modify the Windows Registry. In many cases, Trojan Confuser ends up being installed because the user doesn't realize it has a harmful intent. The distribution of this threat is likely related to false Windows updates, as well as to the installation of third-party programs made to view a Web page and videos, the download of third-party applications, clicking on banners and advertisements, as well as the download of attachments or files through social media.

Trojan.Confuser also may display warning messages describing corrupted Windows system files. The removal of such files may compromise the affected systems, or even crash them. Computer users should keep in mind that these scan results and the problems described in the pop-up messages are fake. Trojan.Confuser also may disable installed software on your PC, such as anti-virus application or even the Windows firewall. The browser settings also may be affected so that it may hide its presence in a system. Trojan.Confuser may show security alerts similar to the ones listed below:
