How did I get infected with?

Redaman does not target individual victims. The Trojan uses mass-distribution methods to reach a broad spectrum of potential victims. It uses torrents, fake updates, corrupted links, and, of course, spam emails. The thing is, these methods cannot succeed without your “help.” The Trojan preys on your naivety. It needs you to click on the corrupted links, to open the spam emails, to install the fake updates. Don’t make its job easier. Choose caution over carelessness. One keeps the parasites away, the other – invites them in. Don’t visit shady websites. Be careful what you install. And treat all unexpected messages as potential threats. If you receive such a message, don’t open it. Verify its sender first. If, for example, you receive an email from an organization, go to their official website. Compare the email addresses listed there to the suspicious one. If they don’t match, delete the pretender immediately. The key to a secure and infection-free computer is caution. No anti-virus app can protect you if you act recklessly. Always take the time to do your due diligence.
