Trojan once executed use to create a working directory launch it’s parameters and check for the environment it is running. If it is Dalvik environment(discontinued by Google) trojan use to launch attacks immediately after they start. Dr.web published a detailed report.
The major role of Android.Triada.231 is to run silently and to download additional modules. As the Trojans are included within system libraries it is not possible to delete using standard methods.
Moreover, Android.Triada.231 can extract the module Android.Triada.194.origin from libandroid_runtime.so, which is stored in the library in the encrypted form. Its main function is downloading additional malicious components from the Internet, as well as ensuring their interaction with each other. Says Dr.WebThe best method to get rid of the Trojan infection is to install the clean Android firmware.It is capable of penetrating various application modules, attackers can make use of trojan to download malicious plugins for stealing confidential information from bank applications, messengers etc.
