How to Erase Evrial Trojan (Trojan Horse)

What is Evrial Trojan? And how does it work?

Evrial Trojan, just like its name suggests, is a Trojan horse developed by a hacker that goes by the code name “qutra”. This Trojan horse is part of a campaign that is being advertised on forums on the Dark Web. Security experts were able to find some ads selling Evrial Trojan for an approximate amount of $30 in Rubles and it looks like this Trojan horse is mostly advertised to Russian hackers.
Evrial Trojan works as an information collecting malicious program that is based on the Ovidiy Stealer. The authors of this Trojan horse offer third parties access to the services of Evrial Trojan once they purchase it using Bitcoins. One of the noticeable features of Evrial Trojan is its ability to modify clipboard content in a way that makes it more effective and efficient compared to other threats, because of this, it allows attackers to extract information from the infected computer and communicate with the Evrial Trojan somewhat effectively through the internet. Hackers who purchase Evrial Trojan receive a building kit that enables them to build a customized version of Evrial Trojan for their very own nefarious purposes.
How does Evrial Trojan spread online?
Evrial Trojan might spread through malicious spam emails or by hacking directly into a targeted computer. And once it manages to infiltrate the system, the Evrial Trojan will modify the Windows Registry to achieve persistence. It then starts to collect information from the infected computer. It could also be used to gather files and send them to the cyber crooks remote server. Aside from that, it could also be used to take screenshots of the infected computer.
Evrial Trojan is not just any Trojan that seriously poses a threat to your privacy. So you must erase it from your computer as soon as possible. It would also be better if you stir clear from opening suspicious-looking emails as crooks often disguise their malware-laden emails to trick you into opening them and downloading the infected attachments.
