Trojan.pirminay

Like most Trojan infections, Trojan.pirminay will enter the victim's computer disguised as a benign, harmless file. Often, Trojan.pirminay is distributed as a fake anti-virus program or as a benign application such as a media player or media format converter. In reality, Trojan.pirminay is a dangerous backdoor Trojan, and as such, it allows cybercriminals to obtain admittance into a computer in order to steal sensitive information installed on that computer or install other malware on the victim's computer. Trojan.pirminay poses a severe threat to a computer and should be removed immediately aided by a well-suited anti-malware program.

Why is Trojan.pirminay Classified as a Trojan Infection?

There are numerous kinds of malware – that is, malicious software – infection. While viruses and worms can spread on their own by corrupting files on the victim's computer or copying themselves to any directories they encounter, Trojans are different. Trojans cannot spread by themselves. Rather, they rely on the victim's themselves or on a secondary malware infection (commonly known as a Trojan dropper) in order to infiltrate a computer. Trojan.pirminay belongs to these kinds of malware threats because Trojan.pirminay cannot spread on its own. Rather, much like the Trojan horse from the Iliad, Trojans will be disguised as benign software and the victim will be enticed to download the malware infection onto the targeted computer. Trojan.pirminay uses these kinds of distribution methods, often disguised as a benign file in order to trick computer users to download and install this threat themselves.

Trojan.pirminay and similar malware threats are known as backdoor Trojans because they establish what is known as a 'back door' on the victim's computer. This is simply a term that PC security analysts use to refer to an unauthorized opening in the infected computer's security protection. In the same way as a physical backdoor lets a robber enter a building undetected, a backdoor Trojan creates an opening that cyberpunks can utilize to gain access to the infected computer without being detected. Using the backdoor that the Trojan.pirminay Trojan installs, scammers can install other malware on the infected computer, ranging from fake security software that attempts to scam the victim to spy Trojans designed to spy on the victim's activity in order to steal information such as credit card numbers, email login credentials, and online banking passwords.
