Trojans are generally considered to be among the most dangerous types of malicious software out there. And on top of that, they are also the most numerous category of malware. Statistically, more than 3 out of every 4 malware or virus attacks are the doing of Trojans.

There are several pretty good reasons why Trojan horse viruses have become the most popular form of malicious code. One is that they generally have the capacity to be exploited for a very wide range of different harmful tasks. We will cover examples of these in just a little bit so you have a rough idea of what you may be faced with.

And another reason is that Trojans like PUA Win32 ICBundler are particularly stealthy and good at hiding in the infected system. This ensures that the threat can remain concealed over a longer period of time, which means that it has more time to benefit its creators in whatever way they’ve designed it to. There are typically never any symptoms of a Trojan horse infection. But on some rare occasions, depending on what the virus is up to exactly, there are signs that may tip you off about its presence. For instance, frequent BSoD crashes can often be the result of a Trojan’s activities.

What Trojans can do

As mentioned, Trojans like ICBundler, Presenoker, Wup.exe are notorious for their versatility. They can be tasked with a whole array of different malicious actions on your computer.

For example, a virus of this type can be used to spy on you for whatever purpose. And this can be achieved using a variety of means, too. Trojans can grant the hackers behind them remote access to your PC, they can switch your webcam on and tap into your mic – all without you even suspecting it.

There are viruses like ICBundler that can record your keystrokes in order to, for instance, obtain passwords or other sensitive information that you type using your keyboard. This information, in turn, can be used to steal your identity, hack into your social media accounts, wipe your online banking accounts clean – the list goes on.

Another potential usage of ICBundler includes acting as a backdoor for other viruses. Most commonly, Trojans can be used as an aid for ransomware. And ransomware, in turn, are also extremely dangerous threats that could end up costing you dearly, depending on the type of information you store on your machine. Thus, if you’ve detected this threat on your machine, we strongly recommend that you scan your system for other malware or viruses.

Below is a detailed removal guide that can show you how to manually get rid of ICBundler. But we also have a professional malware removal tool available on this page that you can use to not only remove this virus, but any other possible threats that may have infected your computer.

    Step3

     

    Hold together the Start Key and R. Type appwiz.cpl –> OK.

    Step4

     

    Type msconfig in the search field and hit enter. A window will pop-up:

    msconfig_opt

     

    Startup —> Uncheck entries that have “Unknown” as Manufacturer or otherwise look suspicious.

    • Remember this step – if you have reason to believe a bigger threat (like ransomware) is on your PC, check everything here.

    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:

    hosts_opt (1)

     

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

    Step5

     

    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!
