The PignoratebelFen Clicker detection name is used as a reference to a program that features the publisher name 'Fibroelastic LLC.' The PignoratebelFen Clicker software may be advertised to users as a browser add-on called 'UPignorate Umbellately Fence' via free software bundles. Users may be suggested that the purpose of the 'UPignorate Umbellately Fence' is to enhance their searches, but that is not how it works. Computer security researchers alert that the PignoratebelFen app is a Trojan-Clicker, which is designed to load Web pages and click on ads. The content accessed by the PignoratebelFen Trojan-Clicker is not loaded on the desktop because the threat uses hidden instances of Internet Explorer. The PignoratebelFen Trojan-Clicker is designed to be stealthy as to prolong the time it can remain on your PC and generate ad revenue for its creators. Malware analysts note that the PignoratebelFen Trojan-Clicker may drop the following files in the Program Files directory and pose as a legitimate program.
