Nowadays, IT connectivity users have to be very careful with their IT security because of the fact that malware evolves and becomes more intrusive and smarter. Just a few days ago, IT engineers discovered a very interesting Trojan that got a copy of itself in Windows help just in case the anti-virus discovered it anywhere else and wiped it away. This way, computers remain infected with the Trojan anyway.
The Trojan was named Muster.e by IT company McAfee, which says that “This is hiding in plain sight. The help file trick is pretty new to us. Usually on the client, we don’t see this very often.” It infects a Windows file called imepaden.hlp in order to store its components in encrypted form. If the malware is removed, the copy gets decrypted into an executable file. Of course, this way of action makes Internet surfers confused because they don’t know how their PC got infected again.
