It messes with your default settings and changes the system registry. In addition, the virus modifies some important files and damages others. You may not be able to use numerous programs thanks to the parasite’s shenanigans. Unfortunately, that’s not all. Trojans exhibit many malicious traits so Js/injector.a has more tricks up its sleeve. You may come across random modifications in your browsers too. The virus could inject them with sponsored, potentially corrupted pop-up ads. Stay away from anything suspicious-looking on your PC screen. Chances are, clicking may bring along further damage. All commercials and even software updates you may come across are unreliable. Put your safety first and keep in mind that you have malware on your machine. Ignore what you don’t trust and tackle this nuisance. The sooner, the better.

If you notice that the PC speed is significantly slowed down, that might be caused by a Trojan. This pest takes up a lot of CPU memory. Hence, the machine underperforms. Your browsers might start crashing and/or freezing as well. The dreaded Blue Screen of Death is yet another plausible consequence.

Crooks won’t think twice before they sell your information for marketing purposes. Could this cause you irreversible privacy damage? Probably.

How did I get infected with?

Being computer programs, Trojans need to get properly downloaded. The thing is, you don’t have to be actively involved in the installation. Same thing goes for the nasty Js/injector.a. Instead of waiting for your help, the parasite relies on your distraction. The easiest infiltration method is also the oldest trick in the books. Spam email-attachments. Yes, hackers often send malware straight to your inbox. As many people directly open what they receive, they let infections loose. Needless to say that preventing installation is a much better strategy than removing malware. Be careful what you click open. Hackers also take advantage of social media. You might receive infections in a corrupted message from some unknown sender. Watch out for viruses before it’s too late. You could never be too cautious online. Another popular method involves freeware/shareware bundles. Next time you download bundled programs, opt for the Advanced option. Check out everything you give green light to and don’t rush. Last but not least, avoid illegitimate websites and third-party pop-up ads.
