My laptop was infected by this trojan name tr/crypt.fkm.gen as detected by avira antivir.
Some information taken from Sophos :
Troj/Scrods-Gen is a family of Trojans for the Windows platform.
Members of Troj/Scrods-Gen usually attempt to download and execute files from remote locations.
Members of Troj/Scrods-Gen may attempt to copy itself to the Windows folder, often with the filename csrss.scr, and may set the following registry entry:
HKCR\.key
(default)
regfile
I did not know from where did it come from. But my suspect is from torrent, where I download a video (a movie, old one) and when launch it Windows Media Player popup a message said that I need to download a free codec. I did download it (silly me!) and actually run it (an exe file). And nothing happen at that time.
But few days later Avira start to popup this message about tr/crypt.fkm.gen trojan and it detect it at file that is in System32 folder. Oh Boy! Nope! Avira unable to delete it. Ad-Aware not able to detect it. Hijack-This able to delete its entry, but it will magically reappear again.
The way I remove it is by running Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware. That also took several reboot to clear it from the system…
Scary…. when you have too much important data inside.
oit.. hows life.. layan jugak saga rupanya.. ingatkan dulu cakap mau trus layan Bimmer hehe
