PUADlManager:Win32/Snackarcin Detection Overview

PUADlManager:Win32/Snackarcin is a detection name that Microsoft uses for a piece of code, designed to download and install unwanted software. The abbreviation in its name, although looking meaningless, means “Potentially Unwanted Program DownLoad Manager” – PUADlManager for short. As I’ve said above, this piece of code is commonly present in the installers of free software or pirated applications, ones that have their license check disabled.

Key target of Snackarcin activity is installing other software, most commonly some unwanted programs. System cleaners, tweakers, things that bring visual enhancements – all this only sounds less than threatening. No legitimate software will use such a distribution method, so the vast majority of apps will have some kind of caveat. Proxy module that turns the system into a proxy node, constantly begging to buy a license, changing some of the system settings without user’s consent – plenty of them.

Threat Summary:

Aside from installing other programs, PUADlManager:Win32/Snackarcin seems to be able to collect a lot of system information. Nothing that may compromise the user’s identity, but is still unpleasant enough to have a motivation to remove it as soon as possible.

List of data gathered by Win32/Snackarcin:

• Windows version and build
• System time
• System IP address
• Username
• List of installed applications

How to Remove PUADlManager:Win32/Snackarcin?

Manual removal of Snackarcin may be an option, though I highly recommend you to stick to automated methods. It may be particularly hard to find the culprit, and if you have already run the installer infused with this thing, then the system is probably filled with different other unwanted programs. Finding and removing them all will be a tedious and time-consuming endeavor, contrary to the removal with dedicated tools.
