Trojan.Win32.Llac.aowc is a malicious program targeting systems running Windows OS, which do not have a strong Internet security in place or activated.

All Trojans or infections are charged with one or more payloads and often displayed specific characteristics that foretell of their malicious intent. For instance, Trojan.Win32.Llac.aowc is being labeled as a Trojan dropper. A Trojan dropper usually is housed on a malicious or compromised website and only requires a visit to be able to 'drop down' and infect a system, as well as invite inside other malicious programs.

Cybercriminals love it when PC users forget to update their anti-virus programs or put off updating or patching a known software or hardware vulnerability. Cybercrooks also invest in social engineering, which in plain terms is the study of human behavior. They study humans to learn new ways to deceive them and trick them into either buying fraudulent software, i.e. fake anti-virus programs, or clicking and downloading infectious programs.

Security experts who test malware programs and trends noted increase use of the rootkit technology to help bury or mask malicious files and elude detection and removal. Trying to remove a rootkit is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Leaving just one trace of this aggressive infection could cost royally as a hacker secretly robbing you blind, or it could literally drive you nuts as the infection reappears at every new system boot.
