Question malwares

Are the following malware programs that modify, damage, corrupt, or delete various files from your PC? all malware types operates malicious operations in files?

Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml, Trojan.DownLoader47.36298, TrojanPSW.Rhadamanthys, Trojan.Win32.Agent.xcajyl?

 

 

When a free antivirus program like Kaspersky Free and Microsoft Defender Free doesn't have a malware signature database and it doesn't appear in a complete scan, is it still active and all protection barriers have been breached? without signature is dead antivirus?

    Yeah, those are all types of trojans, so yeah they can mess with or steal stuff from your files depending on what they’re made to do. And nah, if your antivirus doesn’t have the right signature it just can’t detect that specific threat, doesn’t mean it’s totally useless, it can still block behavior-based stuff. Just make sure it’s fully updated so it has the newest database.
