Re: How to prevent Trojan horse infection?

AVG identified the subject files as Trojans, and blocked them. The Trojans eventually got into AVG somehow and disabled the Resident Shield. I re-installed AVG a couple of times but the same thing would happen again. Every time I tried to delete any of the 10-folders that accumulated on my desktop, access would be denied. After a few days of fooling around with this stuff, I decided to attack it by renaming each of the 10 folders from Virus Removal Tool to some random set of keystrokes. I thought doing this would prevent the hackers programs from finding their own files and would allow me to delete them without incident. It worked and I was able to rid my desktop of all 10 folders; however, I soon found out that I was no

To avoid Trojans, please follow the rules below:


1. Never open unsolicited emails from unknown senders. Emails from people you don't know may contain links, attachments or other traps that can get you to inadvertently install Trojans.

2. Avoid downloading and installing programs unless you fully trust the publisher. Some websites attempt to trick users into downloading programs that they claim will perform useful tasks, when in reality installation will only infect your computer.

3. Use firewall software. Firewalls are programs that can block unsolicited connections, which may help prevent Trojans. If you use Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, Vista or Windows 7, you will have access to Windows Firewall. Make sure it is running properly by clicking "Start," "Control Panel," "Security," "Windows Firewall" and "Change Settings." Click "On" and "Apply" if it is not already on.

4. Use a fully updated antivirus program whenever you are using the Internet. Antivirus software can help scan links for malicious data and prevent and remove malware, like Trojans. Popular antivirus programs include Plumbytes, Avast, Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, and AVG Free.

• Toggle your email provider?s anti-spam settings to filter out all the potentially harmful incoming messages. Raising the bar beyond the default protection is an important countermeasure for ransom Trojans.
• Define specific file extension restrictions in your email system. Make sure that attachments with the following extensions are blacklisted: .js, .vbs, .docm, .hta, .exe, .cmd, .scr, and .bat. Also, treat ZIP archives in received messages with extreme caution.
• Rename the vssadmin.exe process so that ransomware is unable to obliterate all Shadow Volume Copies of your files in one shot.
• Keep your Firewall active at all times. It can prevent crypto ransomware from communicating with its C&C server. This way, the threat won?t be able to obtain cryptographic keys and lock your files.
• Back up your files regularly, at least the most important ones. This recommendation is self-explanatory. A ransomware attack isn?t an issue as long as you keep unaffected copies of your data in a safe place.
