The purpose for Trojans like Malgent is the destruction of various types of valuable information. This can most commonly be done by deleting some files on your computer or by formatting your disks directly. In some cases, the malware may be set to operate as a backdoor for other, more problematic forms of malware such as viruses, ransomware, spyware and rootkits. Perhaps, one of the most disturbing activities that a Trojan like Malgent may be linked to is the online and offline surveillance. Such malware can literally spy on you and keep track of your conversations, chats, keystrokes and more. This can be achieved in different ways, like hacking your webcam or microphone, or installing a keylogger. That’s why it is best to identify and remove the malware as soon as possible.
