Arcdoor is a threatening Worm that may use a large array of attack methods to infect as many computers as possible. This threat may be distributed online disguised as a harmless software update, Web browser, video codec pack, or other types of software that may seem useful to users. Drive-by downloads and exploiting software vulnerabilities are other techniques that cyber crooks may use to infect computers with Arcdoor.
Users who let themselves be tricked into downloading a fake update or program may end up infecting their computer with Arcdoor unknowingly. Once Arcdoor manages to compromise a computer, it can spread to other computers by replicating its components to network drives, USB sticks, and even on newly burned CDs automatically.
As long as Arcdoor is active on a computer it may disable important Windows features such as the firewall, task manager and command prompt automatically. By doing so, Arcdoor may make the system more vulnerable to attacks that may involve other types of threats. The removal of Arcdoor is only possible with the help of an up-to-date and potent anti-malware solution since this is the only way to fully remove all leftover files and components that may be associated with the Arcdoor's activities.
