It will shed some light on what Big Farm Virus may be up to on you PC, as well as the possible ways it may have used to infect you. Furthermore, with that information in mind, you will be able to better protect your system from any such infections henceforth.
What Big Farm Virus is a capable of and how it travels
Trojan horse infections actually comprise over 70% of all malware infections ever recorded. That’s a huge number and there’s also a good reason for that. The thing is that Trojans are universal tools for inflicting harm of various kinds. They are so incredibly diverse in the tasks that they are able to perform, that they’re simply invaluable to any hacker out there. For one, Trojans can be used to lay waste to any given system at any point in time. All they have to do is invade the computer and format the disks – done. The PC will be wiped clean of any data, any files, etc. So, picture a business being illegally targeted by its competitors, for example. That kind of attack can be devastating to it and the people working for it.
Other potential usages of Trojans include data theft of various kinds. For example, the Trojan may be programmed to record the data you input by means of pushing the keys on your keyboard. This is a pretty common method called keystroke logging and will essentially provide the virus, be it Big Farm Virus or another one, with the necessary access to various private and sensitive information. It could in this way gain access to your online banking details, as an example, and use them to drain your bank accounts. Other possibilities include gaining access to your social media profiles and hacking them for the purpose of distributing spam and getting other users infected. Alternatively, your identity may be hijacked and used to commit various crimes on your behalf.
And, unfortunately, that’s not even the half of it. Trojans like Big Farm Virus are often capable of exploiting the resources of your computer to either mine cryptocurrencies or involve it in botnets. Another alternative is the ability of introducing other malware to your system, such as ransomware for example. Once you have downloaded the Trojan (obviously, without knowing it), it can then proceed to automatically download the ransomware onto your machine, where it will then encrypt the data on it and blackmail you to pay money.
As far getting infected by programs like Big Farm Virus goes, possibilities are quite numerous here, too. And while we can’t really tell you exactly how it is that Big Farm Virus entered your machine, we would like to name the most common sources, so you can steer clear from them from now on. The primary source of all the most dangerous types of malware, including Trojans, is still the good old spam emails. These usually contain a link or an attached file, which you are expected to follow or open and that is how the Trojan enters your system. Other options are the increasingly popular malvertisements. These are fake online ads that contain the malicious script of a virus and once you click on it – you download that virus. It’s difficult to say exactly where you might come across a malicious ad like this, but the most likely locations are various illegal and obscure-looking websites.
