What is WinSnare.dll? Should I remove it?

WinSnare.dll helps WinSnare execute malicious processes and track user data

WinSnare.dll is a dangerous file which belongs to a malware that goes by the same title. Win Snare process runs in the background of the system causes a variety of different problems to occur. Hence, is not uncommon to hear people refer to it simply as WinSnare virus, even though it is not the most precise definition of this program. In fact, the security experts are a little softer and categorize it as a potentially unwanted program. Nevertheless, this does not mean that the program deserves any less attention if spotted on the system. On the opposite, it is very stealthy and can easily be mistaken for some legitimate system file, which means that it may run on the system undetected. So it happens that even the most harmless-looking malware left to run on the computer for an extended period of time becomes more and more dangerous. Thus, if you noticed that your computer suddenly started behaving somewhat abnormally and you find a WinSnare.dll process running in the Windows Task Manager, it is a signal for you to take action and protect your system. You can do that by scanning your computer with FortectIntego or similar antivirus software.

Typically, dll or dynamic link library files are not malicious and are important components that allow more efficient memory reuse. Nevertheless, when employed by malware developers, dll files can be used to collect and transfer information from the infected device to remote locations chosen by the malware creators. This may result in a serious privacy infringement, data loss or identity theft. Security experts strongly recommend to terminate the WinSnare.dll process and remove WinSnare along with all the data that may be related to it.

Malware deploys the malicious files on the computer using dishonest bundling strategies

WinSnare.dll cannot deploy on the targeted system by itself and typically uses software bundles to sneak in. To be precise, the users allow this file on their computers themselves when they are installing questionable software downloaded from the Internet. Such software carries the malicious WinSnare executable hidden within the Advanced installation settings, so the users who don’t find the time to go through the in-depth installation are the most common victims of PUP infiltration. Be careful — WinSnare has nothing to do with the legitimate Snare software! If you wish to obtain the latter, make sure you download it from the official source and double check its developer — it should be InterSect Alliance International Pty Ltd.
