Trojan.Win32

Trojan.Win32 is a family of Trojan programs that usually get into your system bundled with fake video codecs or through browser security exploits. To this family belong such Trojan programs as Trojan.Win32.Gorshok.a , Trojan.Win32.LinkReplacer, Trojan.Win32.Obfuscated.gx and others.

Usually, various rogue anti-spyware applications install Trojan.Win32 to popup fake warning messages that look similar to real Windows alerts, in order trick users into buying the full version of the rogue anti-spyware program. The fake alerts may look as the following: "Critical System Error! Your browser was infected by Trojan.Win32.Gorshok.a", "Your browser was infected by Trojan.Win32.Obfuscated.gx" etc.

Once you click on any of these fake warning messages, you will be directed to IEDefender's home site where you will be confused and tricked into buying the commercial version of IEDefender. In addition, Trojan.Win32 may cause system instabilities, thus we recommend the immediate removal of Trojan.Win32.
