In the majority of the situations, Trojan:Win32/CryptInject!MSR will not try to show its presence in your system. The more time that virus will be active, the more additional viruses it will bring into your system.

Trojan:Win32/CryptInject!MSR Summary

The changes done by that virus are next:

• Executable code extraction. Cybercriminals often use binary packers to hinder the malicious code from reverse-engineered by malware analysts. A packer is a tool that compresses, encrypts, and modifies a malicious file’s format. Sometimes packers can be used for legitimate ends, for example, to protect a program against cracking or copying.
• Creates RWX memory. There is a security trick with memory regions that allows an attacker to fill a buffer with a shellcode and then execute it. Filling a buffer with a shellcode isn’t a big deal. It’s just data. The problem arises when the attacker can control the instruction pointer (EIP), usually by corrupting a function’s stack frame using a stack-based buffer overflow and then changing the flow of execution by assigning this pointer to the address of the shellcode.
• Reads data out of its own binary image. The trick that allows the malware to read data out of your computer’s memory.

  Everything you run, type, or click on your computer goes through the memory. This includes passwords, bank account numbers, emails, and other confidential information. With this vulnerability, there is the potential for a malicious program to read that data.

• A process created a hidden window;
• Network activity detected but not expressed in API logs. Microsoft built an API solution right into its Windows operating system. It reveals network activity for all apps and programs that ran on the computer in the past 30-days. This malware hides network activity.
• Anomalous binary characteristics. This is a way of hiding the virus code from antiviruses and virus analysts.

Ways of Trojan:Win32/CryptInject!MSR dirstribution

The biggest share of Trojan:Win32/CryptInject!MSR virus distribution is after these methods:

Email spamming became a trendy malware distribution method since the users do not raise suspicion on notifications from DHL or Amazon about the incoming delivery. However, it is quite easy to distinguish the malevolent email from the original one. One which is sent by cybercriminals has a strange sender address – something like [email protected]. Simultaneously, the original email address has a specific domain name (@amazon.com or @dhl.us) and can also be seen on the official website in the “Contact us” tab.

Malicious advertisements on the web, however, is an old-timer of malware distribution. And the advice to stop clicking the blinking advertisements on untrustworthy websites exists as long as the ads on the Internet. You can also install ad-blocking plugins for your web browser – they will deal with any ads. However, if they are generated by adware already present on your PC, ad blockers will be useless.

Software bundling is a widespread practice among the virus developers. Users who hack the programs to make them usable without purchasing a license approve any offer to include another program in the pack because they are gaining money in such a way. Check precisely the installation window for signs like “Advanced installation settings” or so. The ability to switch off the malware installation often hides under such items.

How can I detect that Trojan:Win32/CryptInject!MSR is present on my PC?

In different edges of the world, victims of the Trojan:Win32/Masson.A!ac say about different signs of virus activity. Nonetheless, the common sign that a trojan downloader infected your PC is a tremendous slowdown of your system. It is tough to miss that moment because even the most powerful PCs become slow as snails when 3-5 viruses begin working simultaneously. This specific trojan is concentrated on injecting the ransomware, so you will not see a huge pack of viruses. But it still does not make things easier since ransomware is one of the most dangerous viruses in the present modern computer world.

As I mentioned before, XXXXXX downloader makes several changes to the system configurations. It disables the Microsoft Defender – the embedded anti-malware solution for Windows. A lot of users do not make use of third-party antivirus programs because of the Defender availability. But the fact that it can be disabled in several clicks through the Group Policies settings creates a big risk.

Another thing changed by this Trojan virus is networking settings. Exactly, the thing which became changed is the HOSTS file. That file contains DNS settings for the specific websites. When it comes to XXXXXXXX activity, several additional entries are added. These entries allow the virus to connect to malware distributors’ control server and get the other viruses. Malware can also block the connection to different anti-malware forums and same-themed sites to prevent searching the malware removal guide.
