How to remove Mental Mentor

What is Mental Mentor

Mental Mentor is classified as a type of malicious software, specifically a Trojan. Unlike viruses, which are designed to infect and replicate within other programs, Trojans like Mental Mentor disguise themselves as legitimate software to deceive users into installing them. Once installed, they perform actions that are harmful or undesirable to the user. Upon installation, Mental Mentor begins to execute its primary function, which typically involves injecting advertisements into the websites that the user visits. This not only disrupts the browsing experience but can also redirect the user to other malicious websites, further compromising the user’s system security. Additionally, Mental Mentor may modify browser settings to redirect search queries. This means that when the user attempts to search for something using their web browser, the query is redirected through a server controlled by the malware author. This can lead to manipulated search results, pushing advertisements, or more dangerous, phishing sites designed to steal personal information.

How Mental Mentor infected your computer

The infection process of Mental Mentor typically begins with social engineering tactics. Users might be tricked into downloading what appears to be a useful application or clicking on a link that leads to the installation of the Trojan. Among website promoting Mental Mentor, cybersecurity specialists spotted Mmentorapp.com. This can happen through phishing emails, malicious advertisements on websites, or spoofed websites that look legitimate but are designed to distribute malware. Once the user executes the file believing it to be safe, Mental Mentor installs itself on the computer. It may request administrative privileges, which, if granted, allow it to perform a wide range of actions without further user permission.
