Gallery.exe

If you have any reason to believe that the newly detected Gallery.exe virus has sneaked into your computer, you should take this threat very seriously. When a Trojan Horse like Gallery.exe infects a system, the user often has no idea what is happening, and it may take a long time before he finds out about the presence of the infection.

Trojan viruses are difficult to detect and remove since they operate in secrecy. That’s why a reliable antivirus program is your best bet for increasing your chances of detecting a Trojan early on. Unfortunately, Gallery.exe is a recently discovered threat, thus, many antivirus programs may not have it in their databases yet. Of course, some antivirus products have zero-day protection that may help, but even that is not a guarantee that a new Trojan like Gallery.exe will be detected before it is too late. In such cases, you may need to use manual methods to find and remove the threat. Still, if you haven’t dealt with malware of this type before, it’s a good idea to invest in a security tool that has the capacity to detect Trojans and other dangers rather than spend your money on recovery solutions after a heavy attack.

Generally, Trojans like Gallery.exe and Altruistics may not show any obvious symptoms while they’re on your machine, but this isn’t always the case. If, for instance, the Trojan establishes full control of your computer, it may force it to perform certain tasks that might require high resource consumption. This includes mining cryptocurrency, sending spam emails, or launching distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. These activities typically use a lot of CPU and RAM, and, as a result of them, your computer may slow down, stop responding, or even crash suddenly. So, if you experience such issues often, they may potentially serve as an indicator that something is wrong in your system.

Of course, this is not the full list of infection symptoms—they may vary depending on the malware’s intended actions once it gains access to the system. For instance, if the malware is just trying to spy on you, there may be no visible symptoms of infection at all. Keylogging is another malicious activity that can run in the background of the infected computer without symptoms. Performed by a program like Gallery.exe, keylogging may be especially damaging since it could steal private data from your system. This includes your financial information, personal chat discussions, and other sensitive data related to your work or personal life, as well as your passwords. Needless to say, if hackers get access to such details, they may use them to blackmail you, harass you, or steal money from your bank accounts.

Hold the Start Key and R –  copy + paste the following and click OK:

notepad %windir%/system32/Drivers/etc/hosts

A new file will open. If you are hacked, there will be a bunch of other IPs connected to you at the bottom. Look at the image below:

 

If there are suspicious IPs below “Localhost” – write to us in the comments.

 

Type Regedit in the windows search field and press Enter.

Once inside, press CTRL and F together and type the virus’s Name. Right click and delete any entries you find with a similar name. If they don’t show up this way, go manually to these directories and delete/uninstall them:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—–Random Directory. It could be any one of them – ask us if you can’t discern which ones are malicious.
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—-Windows—CurrentVersion—Run– Random
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—Internet Explorer—-Main—- Random

If the guide doesn’t help, download the anti-virus program we recommended or try our free online virus scanner. Also, you can always ask us in the comments for help!
