MoneyTree Adware

Removing MoneyTree
Categories: Adware,BHO,Backdoor,Downloader
Adware are programs that facilitate delivery for advertising content
to the user and in some cases gather information from the user's computer.

As this information is entered by the user, it is captured by the BHO (Browser Helper Object) and
sent back to the attacker.
Typically, keyloggers of this type will send the stolen information back to the attacker via email
or HTTP POST, which can appear suspicious.Backdoors are the most dangerous type of Trojans and the most popular.
Backdoors open infected machines to external control via Internet.
They function in the same way as legal remote administration programs used by system administrators.
This makes them difficult to detect.

Backdoors are installed and launched without the consent of the user of computer.
Often the backdoor will not be visible in the log of active programs.

Once a backdoor has been successfully launched, the computer is wide open.
Backdoor functions can include:


  • Launching/ deleting files

  • Sending/ receiving files

  • Deleting data

  • Displaying notification

  • Rebooting the machine

  • Executing files




Backdoors are used by virus writers to detect and download confidential information,
execute malicious code, destroy data, include the machine in bot networks and so forth.
Backdoors combine the functionality of most other types of in one package.

Backdoors have one especially dangerous sub-class: variants that can propagate like worms.
The downloader either launches the new malware or registers it to enable autorun
according to the local operating system requirements.
