Summary
Agent Tesla is a spyware trojan that steals sensitive information. It has many features that allow it to collect data in various methods. Particularly, it can target Windows credentials and other sensitive information from applications, such as browsers, email clients, file transfer protocol (FTP) clients, and virtual private networks (VPNs).
Microsoft Defender Antivirus automatically removes threats as they are detected. However, many infections can leave remnant files and system changes. Updating your antimalware definitions and running a full scan might help address these remnant artifacts.
