Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z: the Invisible Security Killer

Although Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z's behavior may vary from one infection instance to another one there are common traits that all known Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z attacks have shared with each other:

• Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z will cement its position on your PC with multiple files that should all be considered variants of Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z. In most cases, if your anti-virus software only detects a single Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z file after a full scan, your software may have missed another part of the Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z infection.
• Despite Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z's high likelihood of being active on a constant basis, Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z may not be visible due to hiding Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z's files with the name 'ctfmon.exe.' The natural ctfmon.exe file is a native part of Windows, but Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z uses the same name to avoid being seen. Be suspicious if you notice multiple ctfmon.exe files running in your Task Manager.
• All Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z infections have also been seen to open network ports. This attack can be used for multiple purposes, including allowing Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z to download and install other malicious programs, letting distant hackers control your PC or allowing Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z to transmit private information to criminals.

Ultimately, although the signs of Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z's attacks are limited, the possible damage can be severe, and you shouldn't tarry in removing Trojan.Win32.Jorik.Diodih.z from your PC with the best anti-virus program that you can find.
