Trojan Horse Patched_c LYT

Trojan Horse Patched_c_LYT is the detection for a Trojan and is the second half the equation in a strategic attack against poorly protected Windows based systems. The other culprit is sibling Trojan Horse Patched_c_LYU, rumored to be the mail carrier or dropper of Trojan Horse Patched_c_LYT. If your system is absent a stealth anti-malware program, using the Internet could be equivalent to playing Russian roulette. Malware makers devise clever schemes and plant their viral warheads in email spam, behind links planted on social networks, cloaked in freeware downloads or camped on compromised websites. One wrong click or landing could easily deliver an explosive and disastrous infection like Trojan Horse Patched_c_LYT.

At a minimum, victims can expect a two-port to be opened and communications with a C&C server to commence. Stolen data, such as vital data stored in the browser cache or on the hard drive, will be transmitted, and new instructions or more malicious programs could be downloaded and installed. Trojans are stealth and can make system changes comparable to that of an expert programmer. Some of the changes may involve reversing browser settings to open a floodgate of pop-up advertisements or enable forced traffic to unwanted URLs, especially those that encourage click fraud or sell rogue security programs. Such malicious changes may contain a glitch that hampers your operating system and you could visually catch misbehavior. At the first hint, you should use a reliable scanning tool able to search your entire system. If malware is found, be prepared to remove, as well as restore corrupted files.
