Troj/JSRedir-H is very similar to numerous other malicious JavaScript Trojans designed to direct computer users to dangerous websites containing phishing scams or malware. Troj/JSRedir-H in particular will lead computer users to a website containing the BlackHole Exploit Kit, a dangerous hacking tool that will automatically try to install malware on your computer by trying to exploit numerous known vulnerabilities simultaneously. Troj/JSRedir-H is distributed through spam email messages which can be changed in order to carry out different kinds of social engineering scams. Troj/JSRedir-H is currently sent out in spam email messages claiming to have been sent by ADP (a company that is associated with payroll services). Clicking on a malicious embedded link will lead the victim to a dangerous website which will try to install malware on your computer system.
The email message containing the Troj/JSRedir-H Trojan is designed to be as convincing as possible, containing a spoofed email address, the ADP official logo, and official-sounding language. This email message will claim that it contains a link that leads to an essential security update. However, computer users that have clicked on this link have reported that this link leads to Troj/JSRedir-H, which in turn will force your web browser to download other malware from a dangerous website containing the BlackHole Exploit Kit. The final payload of Troj/JSRedir-H is detected as Troj/Dloadr-DPB, a dangerous Trojan downloader that can create a backdoor into the infected computer system as well as connect to a remote server to download and install numerous different malware threats.
