Scan your File System for Agent.C

Agent.C Categorized as:

Rootkit

A rootkit is a set of programs used by a hacker to conceal unauthorized access to a computer. To bypass antivirus scans, a rootkit replaces Windows system files or libraries, or installs special software modules. The hacker installs the rootkit after obtaining user-level access, typically by cracking a user’s password or exploiting a vulnerability of the operating system. The rootkit proceeds to gather other user IDs stored on the computer until the hacker gains administrator access to the system.
Hackers commonly use rootkits as a technique for concealing trojan activity.
