The Trojan, messing up your system, is there because you agreed to install it. It asked whether you consent to let it in, and you did. If you hadn’t, it wouldn’t be able to access your system. But don’t think the infection just openly sought your consent. Oh, no. What if you had just denied it? Instead of taking chances, the tool turned to trickery. It used the old but gold means of infiltration to gain entry. That includes hiding behind corrupted links, spam email attachments and, the most common, freeware. Also, it can fool you into installing it by posing as an update. Like, a Java or Adobe Flash Player one. And, while you think you’re updating your program or system, you’re not. In actuality, you’re giving the green light to a dangerous threat. If you want to keep your PC infection-free, be extra vigilant and attentive!
