Win32/Olmasco.O is a rootkit that embeds itself into the Master Boot Record (MBR) of an infected PC. Doing so will allow Win32/Olmasco.O to load at startup and initiate malicious actions without hitting any roadblocks in the form of an antivirus program. Usually with Win32/Olmasco.O running in the background it is able to slip by detection of common antivirus programs. Win32/Olmasco.O may cause utter destruction on an infected system which is why it must be removed promptly with an updated antimalware program capable of removing rootkit parasites.
