So it has come to your attention that you’ve got a Trojan virus on your computer known as “Bancos” and you’re trying to learn what you can about it so that you can hopefully remove it from your PC. It’s wise that you’re doing some research sooner than later because this particular Trojan virus is geared toward stealing your information which could ultimately result in identity theft. The Trojan will try to get your credit card number, bank account information, and passwords, and login information too. Even though you may have anti-virus software running on your computer, if your PC somehow became infected with this particular Trojan, you may not be protected from other malicious threats anymore either. Many Trojans will deactivate your virus protection software, which can leave your computer open to all kinds of additional issues. Getting started on the process of removing this particular Trojan from your computer is better done sooner than later.

Some Trojans and other types of malware are able to disable your virus protection software in only one step. You may find that suddenly all of your security settings have been changed. The Trojan horse virus known as Bancos can not only open up the computer to other threats to security, but it can also replicate and make back-ups of itself on your computer such that removing it can be rather complicated. more…

A really slow Internet connection can be frustrating to say the least. If you’ve been noticing that your Internet connection is running too slowly, there are a number of different ways to speed up the connection and get things going at a manageable pace. That being said, there are some safe ways to speed up your Internet connection and there are some methods that people use that can be risky under certain circumstances. If you make changes within certain guidelines, however, you’ll be able to increase the speed of your Internet connection as well as keep your computer safe and secure.

First and foremost, you could pay for more bandwidth to speed up your Internet connection. You may be looking for free ways to speed things up, but the fact is, if you’re willing to pay a few more bucks each month, you’ll end up with a connection that loads pages faster. Depending on what you’re doing or downloading from the Internet, this may be the best choice, even though it costs something.

If you’re using wireless Internet service and you’re frustrated with the connection speed, then you might consider plugging directly into the router. This will speed up your connection considerably and you won’t have to pay a dime to make the change. It may limit where you can sit with your lap top in your home environment, but if you’re really in need of a faster connection, then this option will pay off by making your online work go faster. more…

So your antivirus system detected the Bloodhound Virus and you’re trying to figure out what it is and how to get rid of it. First of all this particular piece of malware is a Torjan horse program and it has a number of different names. Determining whether your computer is infected means finding one of those names and identifying it. Well-known anti-virus programs have identified nearly 30 files that can be associated with this particular type of infection. Doing a scan will often produce the offending file by its name.

Why are there so many different names for the files associated with this virus? By creating different names for the different versions, it is possible to bamboozle computer users into believing that the files are actually Windows system files. This keeps the files safe and under wraps. They won’t be removed if the user believes that they are one of the Windows system files. more…

Advertising on the web has really gotten out of hand in recent years. Sometimes, it can be hard to find the information you’re looking for in a sea of pop-ups and banner ads. Though most people understand that advertising is necessary and beneficial for many web based businesses to function and continue to display information on the web, there are new software products available today that can help block the advertisements all over the Internet using certain browsers. For example, Adblock for Chrome can help you get rid of unnecessary and annoying ads that display on all web sites, even sites like Facebook or YouTube.

Getting rid of advertising on the web is as easy as clicking a button using this software, but some people have had concerns about whether or not this program contains a virus or is a virus. There seems to have been some false positive results running certain anti-virus programs that detected adblock and identified it as a virus. But so far, these reports have been unfounded, according to experts who have evaluated the software program to see if this in fact true. more…

Few days ago I found very interesting video about Virus.Win9x.Poshkill. It is very dangerous virus for computer memory. And we should beware it. Here is those video. Enjoy.

As new threats emerge all the time, many computer users have been a bit worried about the zbot! virus. The worry is not unwarranted, as zbot! presents a severe threat, as it is one of the more damaging infections that has been plaguing PCs the world over.

Not only is it important to protect your system from this threat, it is vital to understand this parasite as well. Knowing what zbot! is and what it can do helps you to be a smarter, safer PC user, and it gives you greater chances of keeping your system free from infection. more…

Malicious software is a big problem for all computer users. Even if your system is not infected, the amount of parasites out there alone should be cause for concern, and a good reason to have antivirus software and an active firewall on your computer. Acid was just one such threat.

About Acid

The Acid virus first started infecting computers in 1998. Since its inception, this parasite and its variants, acid.b and acid.a have been causing some annoyance for some computer users.

As a virus, Acid is supposed to self-replicate recursively. An infected computer system will spread the virus to other systems, and the same thing will happen in those infected systems. They work much like biological viruses in that sense. It turns out that acid, however, is an intended virus; due to bugs, they are unable to carry out the replicating virus function. Acid can still deliver a payload, however. more…

There are many types of malware, or malicious software, that can cause big problems for computer users. Trojans are just one type of malware, and there are several varieties of trojans that could potentially infect a user’s personal computer. One of these trojans is Bifrose.

About Bifrose

This trojan is particularly sneaky, making Bifrose one of the more worrisome threats out there. Capable of infecting systems running Windows 95 all the way through Windows 7, the vast majority of PCs that are running today are vulnerable to it.

Bifrose is a backdoor trojan capable of connecting to a remote IP address. This trojan allows the attacker controlling the infection to access the affected computer and carry out various actions with it. There are many actions that a cyber criminal could carry out with Bifrose, as it is highly configurable, but some common actions include screen capturing, keystroke logging, stealing details on installed programs, manage running processes, manipulating registry data or saved files, and more. more…

While many computer users think that viruses and malware are a more recent phenomenon, this is not the case, viruses and other types of malicious software have been flying around the web for some time now. One such virus is the AIDS computer virus and other viruses (or so-called viruses) that share a similar name. more…

Malicious software continues to be developed and distributed around the world. There are nefarious individuals who create these nasty programs so that they can make money in one way or another off of the poor victims whose computers they have infected.

There are many types of malware, and viruses like the ADT virus are just one subtype of this sort of parasite. Computer viruses set themselves apart from other types of malware by acting in a manner similar to biological viruses. Computer viruses infect the host computer, reproduce and then send their offspring off to infect other systems. more…
