Because our malware research team has found that many Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd infections utilize cooperative Trojans, including rootkits, you should consider any Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd attack to be a high-level threat to your PC and respond with appropriate usage of anti-malware software.
 

The Gallery of Rogues That Chums Up with Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd

Although Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd by itself is quite a dangerous Trojan to be on any PC, our malware experts have also seen Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd working in conjunction with Trojan.Win32.Scar and Rootkit.Agent.YYF. The presence of such Trojans and rootkits can complicate any efforts to delete Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd, since they may be able to install other harmful programs or barricade your security software.
 
Noticing any of these PC threats, even Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd itself, can be dicey, at best, due to their ability to infect normal system processes like explorer.exe and iexplore.exe. If you monitor the RAM usage for these processes and notice unusual allocation of memory or other system resources, you may be infected. Other than this minor symptom and the presence of malicious .dll files and other components, you may not have any warning signs of a Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd infection.
 

Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd Springs into Action... Greatly Against Your Benefit

Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd uses standard Registry-based startup exploits to launch itself without any interaction, although Windows does need to be loaded before Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd can trigger itself.

  • Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd can also install other types of harmful software, such as the Trojan and rootkit mentioned earlier, or completely different PC threats, such as rogue security programs that create fake infection alerts, worms or ransomware Trojans that lock up your computer.
  • Security attacks are also extremely likely when Trojan.Win32.Vaklik.ljd is installed on your PC.
