How did I get infected with?

Win32.Agent.fkap uses the usual antics to invade your PC. Trojans aren’t shy about turning to every known trick in the book to gain entry. More often than not, they use the old but gold means of infiltration. After all, they’ve proven their effectiveness over time. And, with their help, the infection doesn’t just gain access to your PC. But it does it without you even realizing it. Yes, the Trojan snuck in undetected. If you’re wondering how it managed that, it’s pretty straightforward. We already mentioned that Win32.Agent.fkap doesn’t play fair. A preferred method is through freeware. That’s, arguably, the easiest way to your computer. Why? Well, most users throw caution to the wind during its install. They rush, and don’t bother to read the terms and conditions. Instead, they rely on luck. They agree to everything, and hope for the best. Well, that strategy rarely ends well. And, that’s quite the understatement. Don’t rush and don’t give into naivety! Do your due diligence! Infections prey on distraction. Why are you making it easy for them to slither into your PC? Be more careful, vigilant, and thorough. Attention goes a long way. Remember that next time you’re installing a tool or an update.

Why is this dangerous?

Trojans are a plague on your PC! Once they invade your system, they latch on, and proceed to corrupt it. They meddle with your settings, and change them as they wish. For example, you can wake up to a change of your preferred homepage and search engine. Or, to an entire set of programs, freshly installed on your PC. Oh, yes. Trojans can open your system to as many cyber threats as they choose. That’s why you face the threat of The Blue Screen of Death. How long do you think your PC will endure the advances of malware? How long before it gets so damaged that it gives up? But the malware threat is just one aspect of the Trojan’s meddling. It also messes up your online experience by flooding you with pop-ups each time you browse. So, you won’t just suffer from endless redirects. You’ll also have to endure constant ads popping up. Brace yourself for the frustration, which will follow. Not to mention, the frequent system crashes or slower PC performance. They’re just a consequence following the incessant intrusion. But Win32.Agent.fkap is not done with you just yet. As was already mentioned, the worst aspect of the Trojan’s presence, is the security issue. It threatens to expose your private life to strangers. That’s because it’s programmed to keep track and catalog your online activities. It records your every move! And, once it decides it has enough information, sends it to the people behind it. Strangers. It all comes back to these questions. Are you going to allow the Trojan to give these people access to your personal and financial details? Or, are you going to protect yourself and your PC from the infection? Figure out your priorities, and act accordingly.
