What kind of program is Tao Raiqsuv Utils?

Upon reviewing Tao Raiqsuv Utils, we found that it has no clear function and has been flagged as malicious by several security vendors.

As a result, it is highly advisable to avoid Tao Raiqsuv Utils and remove the app if it is already present.

Tao Raiqsuv Utils in detail

After Tao Raiqsuv Utils is installed, it can inject Legion Loader, which allows cybercriminals to distribute other harmful programs. Threat actors were observed using Legion Loader to deliver information stealers, such as Raccoon Stealer, Vidar, and Predator the Thief. Cybercriminals can also use Legion Loader to distribute ransomware, cryptocurrency stealers, and other malware.

These infections can lead to a range of problems, including financial loss, identity theft, degraded system performance, file encryption, and other issues. In some instances, the malware can give attackers complete control over the device, enabling them to steal personal files, monitor user activities, launch further attacks, and more.

The installer used to distribute Tao Raiqsuv Utils also introduces a fake extension called "Save to Google Drive". This extension can manage other apps and extensions in the browser, access browsing history, block content on websites, show unwanted notifications, and alter data copied to the clipboard.

"Save to Google Drive" may create privacy risks, expose users to scams, diminish the browsing experience, and more. Due to these risks, users are advised not to install Tao Raiqsuv Utils and eliminate it (and the associated apps) if it is installed.

How did unwanted software install on my computer?

Tao Raiqsuv Utils is commonly spread through unreliable websites, such as appperfectlab[.]com, which lure users into downloading it through the provided links. It can also be installed through misleading advertisements and notifications, like fake alerts or scam offers from untrustworthy sites.

In other cases, unwanted apps are bundled with free or questionable software. Users may unintentionally install these apps by quickly proceeding with the default installation settings, bypassing options like "Advanced" or "Custom". Additionally, these apps can be distributed via peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, third-party downloaders, unofficial app stores, and other similar platforms.

How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?

Only download apps and files from official websites or trusted app stores. During installation, carefully check the settings (such as "Custom" or "Advanced") to identify and deselect any unwanted apps. Do not trust ads, pop-ups, buttons, or suspicious links found on questionable websites.

Do not allow dubious websites to send notifications. Keep your system and apps up to date, and regularly scan your device with reputable security software to ensure protection. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
