CryptInject is a heuristic detection used by the Microsoft Defender (previously named Windows Defender) to flag items that display characteristics usually associated with Trojan Horse malware threats. The full detection that is likely to be displayed to users is Trojan:Win32/CryptInject!ml. Heuristic detections examine the behavior of the examined application and signify that it has suspicious aspects. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that the flagged item is threatening. In many cases, the security alert is a false positive and the item is incorrectly determined to be malware.

However, it is better not to take any chances when it comes to Trojans. This category of malware threats is exceptionally versatile. Threat actors can utilize Trojans in numerous, different attack campaigns and modify them to perform specific, invasive actions that match the goals of each operation. Trojan threats can collect and transmit data obtained from the infected system, establish a backdoor connection to the device, run keylogging routines capturing all pressed keys and more.

Trojans are often used as delivery systems for the final payloads that the attackers wish to deploy on the breached devices. They can fetch and execute more specialized malware threats, such as spyware, crypt-mniners, ransomware, etc.
