What is Yahlover?

Yahlover worm is also known as Sohana worm. Yahlover works secretly in a background to deliver malicious files on the compromised machine. This worm is dangerous because it spreads through network shares. It may also be able to infect some instant messenger applications and access victims this way.

Yahlover modifies Windows registry to set itself to run on startup. This infection is difficult to track without any security tools because the worm hides its activities pretty well. Yahlover worm is able to trick firewalls and appear on their lists as a legitimate program. It is also capable of avoiding anti-virus tools.

Yahlover may bring much harm since it is difficult to notice and delete; and it usually installs dangerous trojans. If you suspect this infection running on your computer, block admin.waverevenue.com, bhxtakekep.net, diesam.moe.hm and sousi.extasix.com websites using your HOSTS file. These are the domains most commonly used by Yahlover to download other malwares.
