What Is Trojan.ShadowBrokers?

Trojan.ShadowBrokers is a type of Trojan malware that can infect your computer without your knowledge or consent.

These can include slow system performance, frequent crashes, and unfamiliar programs or icons on your desktop. You may also notice that your web browser is being redirected to unwanted websites, or that your personal data is being stolen. In some cases, the infection may not produce any noticeable symptoms at all, making it difficult to detect without the use of specialized security software.

  • Unexplained changes to your system settings or configuration
  • Appearance of unfamiliar programs or icons on your desktop
  • Frequent system crashes or errors
  • Slow system performance or responsiveness
