Quote:The TrickBot Trojan has switched to a new Windows 10 UAC bypass to execute itself with elevated privileges without showing a User Account Control prompt.
 
Windows uses a security mechanism called User Account Control (UAC) that will display a prompt every time a program is run with administrative privileges.
 
When these prompts are shown, they will ask logged in user if they wish to allow the program to makes changes, and if the program is suspicious or unrecognized, allows the user to prevent the program from running.
