Fake “Warning!Trojan Found” Popup
“Warning!Trojan Found” popup is a bogus security warning produced by rogue anti-spyware application called Extra Antivirus. It states that Extra Antivirus have found a trojan virus which tries to steal all your passwords and other confidential data. “Warning!Trojan Found” pop up reads:
“Your computer is infected. Warning!Trojan Found! Threat detected: Trojan. File name: svhost.sys. Threat name: Trojan-PSW.BAT.Cunter. File at risk of infecdtion: C:\Documents and Settings\… Total vulnerabilities: 21. Description: This trojan is trying to steal all your passwords for network. Recommended: Please click ‘Remove All’ to eliminate all possible threats and protect your PC.”
It is highly recommended to remove “Warning!Trojan Found” popup from the system upon detection. Otherwise, you can mistakenly purchase Extra Antivirus.
