Trojan
A trojan is a program that is disguised as legitimate software but is designed to carry out some harmful actions on the infected computer.
Unlike viruses and worms, trojans don’t replicate but they can be just as destructive.
These days trojans are very common. Trojans are divided into a number different categories based on their function or type of damage.
Be Aware of the Following Trojan Threats:
How Did My PC Get Infected with Seldver?^
The following are the most likely reasons why your computer got infected with Seldver:
- Your operating system and Web browser's security settings are too lax.
- You are not following safe Internet surfing and PC practices.
Downloading and Installing Freeware or Shareware
Small-charge or free software applications may come bundled with spyware, adware, or programs like Seldver. Sometimes adware is attached to free software to enable the developers to cover the overhead involved in created the software. Spyware frequently piggybacks on free software into your computer to damage it and steal valuable private information.
Using Peer-to-Peer Software
The use of peer-to-peer (P2P) programs or other applications using a shared network exposes your system to the risk of unwittingly downloading infected files, including malicious programs like Seldver.
Visiting Questionable Web Sites
When you visit sites with dubious or objectionable content, trojans-including Seldver, spyware and adware, may well be automatically downloaded and installed onto your computer.
Detecting Seldver^
The following symptoms signal that your computer is very likely to be infected with Seldver:
PC is working very slowly
Seldver can seriously slow down your computer. If your PC takes a lot longer than normal to restart or your Internet connection is extremely slow, your computer may well be infected with Seldver.
New desktop shortcuts have appeared or the home page has changed
Seldver can tamper with your Internet settings or redirect your default home page to unwanted web sites. Seldver may even add new shortcuts to your PC desktop.
Annoying popups keep appearing on your PC
Seldver may swamp your computer with pestering popup ads, even when you're not connected to the Internet, while secretly tracking your browsing habits and gathering your personal information.
E-mails that you didn't write are being sent from your mailbox
Seldver may gain complete control of your mailbox to generate and send e-mail with virus attachments, e-mail hoaxes, spam and other types of unsolicited e-mail to other people.
I purchased Exterminate It! yesterday, as a last ditch effort from having to scratch load an XP Pro workstation, which was infected with the WOWfx Trojan.
In short, your product eliminated all malware on the system. It was the only commercially available product that not only detected the problems, but eliminated them.
For the record, I attempted using:
The registered versions of Spyware Doctor, XSoft Antispyware, CA Antispyware and the free version of Adaware, which all recognized, but failed to clean my system.
Outstanding product.
