JS:Downloader-ZY removal process
JS:Downloader-ZY relates to a bunch of issues on your PC, among which Internet related events prevail. The latter, in their turn, include, but are not limited to, extended time of loading page, stealing private data such as account names followed by an attempt to access those (if unsuccessful, you may receive a message that somebody tried to access your account; if the rascals succeed in their attempt of the crack, your private data would definitely be exposed and you will need to resort to relevant account blocking and access regaining steps).
Remove W64.Viknok.B!inf trojan
The multitude of risks posed by the W64.Viknok.B!inf computer Trojan involves several critical aspects of the affected user’s cybersecurity, the privacy perils being predominant. First off, any sensitive documents stored on the victim’s hard drive are subject to quite probable theft as long as this pest is running on the PC. Through its proven capability of communicating directly with its authors’ command and control server, this infection can transmit copies of the harvested private files, which means identity theft at its worst. It’s essential to remark this is a background process that takes place behind the scenes so that the user gets barely any chance to notice and prevent it.

Techniques for Malware Persistence. Part 3.
Jake Williams: So, service failover is the next technique we’re going to talk about. Services failovers are all kinds of cool. We can take an existing service, a legitimate service; I think every forensics professional here knows you got to go through the service – we’re not interested in that. We’re looking at using an actual service failover. So we’re going to piggyback on an existing service, maybe even something cool like antivirus – that’s a big one that you always want to attack. I always liked to attack an antivirus.
Techniques for Malware Persistence. Part 2.
Jake Williams: How many of you guys are government employees or card-carrying members of the infamous CatCard? Yeah, it’s cool – I wouldn’t raise my hand either. So, one of the emails that we got – this is really interesting – actually involved some of the CatCard reader software installed on the “Golden Images” all around some US Government organizations. And so, what turns out is when you put your card in, then it launches the program to handle it. Program.exe then not only executes at some time in the future, but at some time that we can social-engineer in the future. Maybe we social-engineer the user of the machine that we’ve left program.exe on, say: “Hey, do something that would require you to insert your CatCard at this point.” Or maybe they’ll just insert their CatCard to log on – and then again we’re right back in business: when it launches, their credentials can be stolen.
