Trojan.SlayerRAT Removal Guide

Trojan.SlayerRAT might seem to be a beneficial tool for those users who have bad intentions; however, if you are not one of them, you will definitely find the SlayerRAT software useless. Unfortunately, it is also known to be very dangerous, which is why specialists working at 411-spyware.com have decided to classify it as Trojan. As has been found, not all the users know that they have a dangerous Trojan installed on their computers. Of course, it should be possible to get it willingly from some kind of third-party source; however, the majority of people who get infected with this computer infection cannot explain how it has entered their systems. Therefore, specialists are sure that it enters computers secretly in most cases. To be frank, it does not really matter how it has managed to sneak onto your computer because the most important thing now is to eliminate it from the system fully as soon as possible. Even though Trojan.SlayerRAT does not look bad at first glance, specialists are sure that it can really cause serious problems, so we will help you to delete it after we tell you more about it and how it acts.

If you pay a visit to the official website of Trojan.SlayerRAT, which is slayerrat.blogspot.lt, you will immediately notice that it should work as a remote tool. Also, it becomes immediately clear that it has been developed by cyber criminals living in Tunisia. Our experts have carried out research to find out more about Trojan.SlayerRAT, and they have confirmed the assumption that this Trojan is dangerous once again. It has been found that it might allow bad people to access infected computers and make modifications on them, for example, computer’s network settings might be changed and proxy established to redirect people to particular pages. On top of that, it might make changes to the Windows Registry. Even though Trojan.SlayerRAT should enable those bad people to access infected computers and perform activities on them, this program itself might cause harm to its user. It has been found that it might create a backdoor on the system it is being kept on. This means that it might allow cyber criminals to connect to your PC and perform any actions too. In other words, even though Trojan.SlayerRAT enables you to access infected computers remotely, it might cause harm to your system too because other cyber criminals might access your computer as well through the Trojan.SlayerRAT installed on your PC.

Since you already know how Trojan.SlayerRAT works and that it is better to get rid of it, we should now talk about its distribution. We have already mentioned in the paragraph above that it has the official website; however, it is impossible to download it from there, which suggests that it finds other ways to enter computers. Research carried out by our specialists has shown that it might travel in spam emails. To be more specific, it might come as an email attachment or you might find a link in a spam email offering to download useful software. Of course, it is not the only way it is disseminated. According to experts, Trojan.SlayerRAT can spread to other computers like Worms do as well. For example, it can make a copy of itself to a USB drive or another external storage device. Once it is inside the computer, it creates a folder slayerRAT with its executable file stub.exe. It can be found in any of these places:

• Desktop
• %TEMP%
• %USERPROFILE%\Downloads
• %APPDATA%
• %PROGRAMDATA%
