New trojan threat for Windows
July 5, 2008 by Admin
Look out for a fake anti-spyware program with the name Backdoor Guard-this misleadingly named program only pretends to protect your computer. Once installed, however, it opens a backdoor, so that the programmer can access your system.
If the victim restarts his system after installation, the Trojan blocks your normal desktop and opens a website. The victim then sees messages saying that there is a problem with the license and that a call to a long-distance number is required. A PIN number is displayed on the website and you are instructed to enter it when calling. However the PIN will cost €20 .
Thankfully, there’s a quick way to rescue your computer: all you have to do is boot up in Safe mode and then delete the file ‘locker.exe’ in the Windows folder.
Hey I’ve read about this on the Latest Software and Hardware News It is cool information.
Thanks!
