Threats type: Downloader

The basic purpose of downloaders is hidden unauthorized downloading of software from the Internet. The main source of downloaders is hackers sites. A danger of downloaders is that they download many more dangerous programs such as viruses, spyware and trojans from the Internet. You may notice a great traffic increase and appearance of many new programs not launched by you.

All downloaders can be divided into two main categories:

Universal downloaders can load a code from various servers. Such downloaders keep their settings locally or load them from a remote server.

Specialized downloaders are intended for downloading of strongly defined trojans or spyware. Downloader keeps its addresses and file names in the program’s body.

We propose you to get rid of all downloaders just now. Thanks to Stronghold AntiMalware you will be always quiet about your security.
