Trojan.Mikey

Trojan.Mikey is a computer threat that may infect computers silently and create multiple files that may be used to execute threatening operations, as well as to communicate with remote Command & Control (C&C) servers. Con artists may use Trojan.Mikey to execute a large number of harmful actions such as downloading additional threats, turning the infected computer as part of a botnet, gaining illicit access to the user's data, etc.

The scariest thing about threats such as Trojan.Mikey is that they may use advanced methods to make their presence unknown. Trojan.Mikey may place its files in multiple system folders, and Trojan.Mikey may create Windows processes with unsuspicious names, which users would never associate with a threatening Trojan. The fact that Trojan.Mikey may stay hidden on an infected system and execute its threatening operations without ever giving out its presence is certainly something to be afraid of. That's why it is important always to keep your computer shielded with a reliable and up-to-date anti-malware software that can detect and eliminate threats like Trojan.Mikey as soon as they attempt to do something bad.

The Trojan.Mikey's distribution may occur with the help of several threat propagation techniques such as pirated software, corrupted e-mail attachments and fake downloads. Apart from securing your computer with a good anti-malware program, you also should avoid downloading software from untrustworthy Web destinations. The same applies for e-mail messages – never open messages from unknown senders, especially if they contain links or unknown attachments that you didn't expect to receive.
