The parasite also silently downloads from the Internet and executes arbitrary potentially harmful files, removes installed Internet Explorer toolbars, adds numerous bookmarks to the Favorites list and blocks access to some web resources. EliteBar is able to hide its processes by injecting malicious code into legitimate tasks and system components. The trojan automatically runs on every Windows startup.
