Trojan.Rodecap.A

Trojan.Rodecap.A is a dropper Trojan that downloads other malicious files onto your PC to cause varied forms of damage. Computers that are infected by Trojan.Rodecap.A will have their system settings altered, will suffer from reduced memory and poor system performance due to Trojan.Rodecap.A's ongoing processes and may even be subjected to rootkit-based attacks. Although the exact symptoms of a Trojan.Rodecap.A infection may vary, in most cases, Trojan.Rodecap.A will reveal its automatically-launched memory processes in the form of randomly-named .exe files. You should delete Trojan.Rodecap.A with high-level security software, since trying to remove Trojan.Rodecap.A without software-based help can result in only a partial deletion of the infection.

How Do You Know When Trojan.Rodecap.A Has Crept Its Way Onto Your PC

Even though Trojan.Rodecap.A was first seen all the way back in 2009, recent Trojan.Rodecap.A infections have occurred even in 2011, and you should keep your anti-virus software updated to protect yourself from possible Trojan.Rodecap.A incursions. Trojan.Rodecap.A can also be detected by a wide range of aliases, including Trojan.Win32.Agent.RGK!A2, Trojan:Win32/Rodecap.A, HEUR:Trojan.Win32.Generic, Gen:Trojan.Heur.RP.dmW@aSRQWEj and TrojanDownLoader1.38188.

Trojan.Rodecap.A uses typical Trojan tactics by adding a startup entry into the Windows Registry; this allows Trojan.Rodecap.A to launch itself without your consent. Fortunately, you may be able to notice that Trojan.Rodecap.A is active. Tap Ctrl+Alt+Del to open Task Manager and peer into the Processes tab – if you see a random .exe file like sessmgr.exe, mstsc.exe, cmstp.exe or rsvp.exe, be suspicious! Trojan.Rodecap.A has been known to use all of the above files as part of Trojan.Rodecap.A's attacks.

A Close Look at Trojan.Rodecap.A's Unwanted Changes

The central danger of a Trojan.Rodecap.A infection is your computer being subjected to the installation of other hostile programs. Trojan.Rodecap.A has been seen in the company of keylogger, rootkit and Trojan Backdoor.Hupigon.GEN, but may install many other types of PC threats, including rogue security applications, ransomware or viruses.

Unlike Trojan.Rodecap.A itself, rootkits can conceal their activities through sophisticated methods, which places even more emphasis on having good security software to remove Trojan.Rodecap.A-related problems. Backdoor.Hupigon.GEN is also capable of recording keyboard input to steal passwords and similar private data and may also create extreme security vulnerabilities to allow remote criminals to control your PC. Any possible Trojan.Rodecap.A infection should be considered a very urgent threat, due to the possibility of Trojan.Rodecap.A being accompanied by Backdoor.Hupigon.GEN and similarly-advanced infections.

Along with downloading and installing programs, Trojan.Rodecap.A may change your port settings or attack your firewall to allow itself to send traffic both ways without hindrance. Trojan.Rodecap.A may also modify Windows settings, typically by using the Windows Registry.

Modifying the Windows Registry by yourself is strongly discouraged, unless you have expert-level PC security training, since improper modifications can damage Windows. A good anti-virus application can delete Trojan.Rodecap.A and any accompany Registry changes, without harming your computer.
