ALS.Kenilfe!inf

ALS.Kenilfe!inf is a Trojan as well as a worm; ALS.Kenilfe!inf may download malware onto your computer and also copy itself to different drives and removable devices to spread the infection to new systems. As a recent infection, ALS.Kenilfe!inf may not be spotted by security software that hasn't recent malware definition updates. ALS.Kenilfe!inf socializes in the infection of .cad files and can target almost all versions of Windows. Given the security threat, the potential damage to your system and the possibility of further infection, you should do your best to delete ALS.Kenilfe!inf before heavy damage results from its attacks.

Fending ALS.Kenilfe!inf Off Preemptively

The ALS.Kenilfe!inf infection spreads mostly through removable drives, since ALS.Kenilfe!inf can copy itself to new drives and then run automatically when the drive is inserted into a computer. ALS.Kenilfe!inf may not be detected if your anti-virus programs haven't been updated very recently, since ALS.Kenilfe!inf was identified as a threat in February of 2011. If your security software is up to date and detects the threat, there should be relatively little risk of ALS.Kenilfe!inf spreading. Be careful of removable drive devices if you frequently come into contact with them and often allow them to change hands.

ALS.Kenilfe!inf specifically targets and infects .cad files; extra wariness around files of this type may help you avoid infection. ALS.Kenilfe!inf also targets most Windows platforms ? Windows 2K, 95, 98, NT, Me, Server 2003, Vista and XP are all confirmed victims of this worm-Trojan malware.

ALS.Kenilfe!inf Double its Functions to Double the Trouble

The worm side of ALS.Kenilfe!inf isn't necessarily the worst part; the Trojan half of its functions are in many cases more damaging, as you can see below:

• ALS.Kenilfe!inf is able to download and execute malware and doesn't require the user's consent or awareness to accomplish this. Malware downloaded can include spyware that records keyboard input, rogue products that issue false alerts while purporting to be faithful security scanners, browser hijackers and even far worse malware.
• ALS.Kenilfe!inf also contains remote administration functionality that lets a remote attacker issue orders to your computer or otherwise interfere with the infected system. Remote attackers may accomplish everything that a Trojan could, and far more, up to completely taking over the machine for illegal purposes or destroying the system's information to an irreparable extent.
• To accomplish any of this, ALS.Kenilfe!inf must first lower your security, which ALS.Kenilfe!inf does, again, without your permission. Reduced security in the form of backdoor holes and disabled anti-virus programs will let your computer be attacked by anything and everything that glances in its direction.

Such extreme dangers to your security warrant an extreme response, and deleting ALS.Kenilfe!inf with no mercy or hesitation should be your first and only reaction to its presence.
