Aliases :

There are no other names known for Trojan:W32/Romride.J.

Explanation :

A trojan, or trojan horse, is a seemingly legitimate program which secretly performs other, usually malicious, functions. It is usually user-initiated and does not replicate.

Additional DetailsTrojan:SymbOS/Romride.J affects devices running the Symbian S60 operating system. It is distributed in a malicious SIS file and when executed, installs components that cause the phone to 'crash', essentially becoming useless.

Execution
On execution, Romride.J installs malfunctioning system component configurations. These components are designed to cause effects on the device, which may differ based on the version of ROM software installed. The message "Attack Successfully" is displayed, then the phone is immediately rebooted.

The effects produced by the system components are not seen, as Romride.J also installs a bootstrap component that reboots the phone every time it attempts to complete startup, leaving the phone in a continuous reboot loop.
