High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.

Trojan.EvilBunny is a high-profile threat that may be used to collect information from its victims. Classified as a backdoor Trojan, Trojan.EvilBunny allows remote attackers to exfiltrate information from the victim's machine, as well as to upload and execute files that may be used to deploy additional threats on the victim's machine. Due to the nature of Trojan.EvilBunny, it is impossible to state the exact attack vectors that con artists operating this threat may use, but it is certain that the best way to make sure that Trojan.EvilBunny is away from your computer is to use an anti-virus product that offers both active and passive protection modules.
It is not uncommon for backdoor Trojans like Trojan.EvilBunny to be spread via some of the following types of content:
- Fake software or driver updates promoted via fraudulent Web browser pop-ups and pages.
- Pirated software, CD-KEY generators or game cracks.
- Fake adult materials (photos, videos, etc.) distributed via low-quality adult websites.
- E-mail attachments that have been disguised to look like legitimate documents or files.
These are just some of the popular methods that may be used to spread Trojan.EvilBunny, and as you can see, cyber crooks have quite an imagination when it comes to developing working threat distribution campaigns. This is why even the most vigilant computer users must rely on a popular anti-virus software suite to keep them safe while browsing the Web. Popular anti-malware software can scan incoming files, detect threats, and help users keep their computers safe from the latest threats being distributed in the wild.
Infections with Trojan.EvilBunny may be impossible to deal with manually because this threat creates some files and Registry entries to ensure that it will keep running even if the user deletes some of its files or restarts the computer. One of the files that Trojan.EvilBunny often uses to store its payload is '%windir%\msapps\netmgr.exe.' Naturally, the cyber crooks have chosen a generic name for the harmful process, since many victims might think that 'netmgr.exe' belongs to a Windows network service. If you spot this process in your Task Manager, then you must use an up-to-date anti-malware scanner to remove the corrupted files and Registry entries immediately.
