The Poweliks infection is a Trojan downloader for the Windows operating system that downloads and executes other malware on your computer. This infection is typically installed via exploit kits found on hacked web sites that exploit vulnerabilities on your computer when you visit them. Once the initial installer is executed, the actual Poweliks infection is stored in the Windows registry rather than as a file on your hard drive. The installer then deletes itself. This method of storing the malware files in the Registry rather than the hard drive makes it more difficult for antivirus programs to properly detect it.
