Trojandownloader.xs

Posted: March 15, 2008

Trojandownloader.xs is a nasty Trojan parasite that may compromise your computer via browser security exploits. Once inside your machine, Trojandownloader.xs will bombard your desktop with fake warning messages, such as the following:

"Security problem. Trojandownloader.xs on system"

These messages are used to scare novice computer users into purchasing corrupt anti-spyware applications. Trojandownloader.xs will also decrease security system settings, thus allowing a remote hacker to take over your computer completely without your consent and knowledge. Trojandownloader.xs also uses aggressive scare tactics by changing desktop images and icon colors, and it will not stop until you remove Trojandownloader.xs from your system entirely.
