The Trojan itself will attract malicious programs and assist the installation of some of them. This will be done through background processes, as well. The most harmful programs Trojans can install to your machine are ransomware. Ransomware viruses lock the files on the targeted computer and demand a certain payment to have them unlocked. In some cases, the ransom amounts to thousands of dollars.

The monitoring activity can pose an even greater threat to your security. HPSewilSrv.exe will follow you throughout your browsing sessions and record your history, tracking cookies and keystrokes. The risk level depends on the online services you use and the personal details you have disclosed through your private accounts.

How did you contact HPSewilSrv.exe?

The most common source for HPSewilSrv.exe are spam emails. The Trojan lurks behind attachments, disguised as documents. The spammer behind the bogus message will try to convince you that the file is a notification from a legitimate company or entity, like the national post, a courier firm, a bank, a government branch or the police department. He can copy the logo and contacts of the organization in question to make the email appear genuine. To check whether a given message is reliable, look up the sender’s email address.

Corrupted websites and compromised links are another common source for HPSewilSrv.exe. Entering the host domain can be enough to prompt the transfer of the Trojan to your computer. This process is called a drive-by installation. You need to be cautious about the sources you use. Do your research on unfamiliar websites, if necessary. Make sure the links you follow have been provided by reliable sites or people. In some cases, hackers send links from users’ accounts on social media and chat programs. When you receive a link unexpectedly, you should ask your correspondent whether he has sent it. The message may not appear in his chat history.
