Trojan.Bootlock

Posted: December 2, 2010

Trojan.Bootlock is a very harmful Trojan horse that will compromise the master boot record (MBR) of the target computer. Trojan.Bootlock will prevent the computer to restart. This Trojan will move the original MBR's first sector to fifth sector and overwrites the first three sector with a custom MBR. Remove Trojan.Bootlock before it starts asking you to spend money on useless software. The Trojan will then produce a fake popup stating your PC is blocked and that another password is needed to get it to run again. Do not fall for this and have Trojan.Bootlock removed immediately once it has been detected.
