EliteBar is a widely-spread trojan that displays unsolicited commercial advertisements, changes Internet Explorer default home and search pages and redirects the web browser to undesirable web sites. The parasite also secretly downloads from the Internet and executes potentially harmful files, removes installed Internet Explorer toolbars, adds numerous bookmarks to the Favorites list and blocks access to some web resources. EliteBar is able to hide its processes by injecting malicious code into legitimate tasks and system components. The trojan automatically runs on every Windows startup.
