SmartViewer is a type of malicious software that is designed to infect computers and steal sensitive information. This software is typically distributed through phishing emails, fake software downloads, or malicious websites. Once installed on a computer, SmartViewer can collect personal data such as usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers. It can also track internet browsing habits and send this information to remote servers controlled by cybercriminals.
One common way that SmartViewer infects computers is through email attachments or links. Cybercriminals may send emails that appear to be from legitimate sources, such as banks or government agencies, and contain attachments or links that, when clicked on, download the SmartViewer software onto the victim’s computer. Once installed, SmartViewer can run in the background without the user’s knowledge, collecting and sending data to the cybercriminals. It is important for computer users to be cautious when opening emails from unknown sources and to always verify the legitimacy of any attachments or links before clicking on them.
