Netbus Trojan

Netbus Trojan is a dangerous new malware program of the Trojan horse variety that uses stealth and disguise to enter people’s computers. Threats like Netbus Trojan are known for their versatility and ability to operate in silence, without being spotted by the victim.

Netbus Trojan Horse

One of the key reasons that make such new Trojan infections so difficult to detect before they complete their malicious job has to do with the lack of proper detection for them. Older Trojan versions can typically be picked up by most conventional antivirus solutions but when it comes down to a newer threat like Netbus Trojan, the chances of spotting the infection in time are significantly diminished. This stems from the fact that the most common detection method that most antiviruses use is the database one. An antivirus program’s database is what allows it to detect and stop most incoming threats. Once the details of the virus are added to the database, this allows the security program to quickly recognize the attacking malware and neutralize it with ease. However, new infections like Netbus Trojan take some time before they get added to those databases, and until that moment, detecting them is made much less likely. Some more advanced antivirus programs offer alternative detection methods for when a given potential threat is not yet in their database. For example, they may look for malware behavioral patterns in potential threats and use this as a way of spotting malware. However, those alternative methods are typically far less effective, which means that attacks from new viruses (also known as zero-day attacks) are highly likely to be successful and to remain undetected for long periods of time.

Please follow all the steps below in order to remove Netbus Trojan!

How to remove Netbus Trojan

  1. First, click the Start Menu on your Windows PC.
  2. Type Programs and Settings in the Start Menu, click the first item, and find Netbus Trojan in the programs list that would show up.
  3. Select Netbus Trojan from the list and click on Uninstall.
  4. Follow the steps in the removal wizard.

What we suggest you do first is, check the list of programs that are presently installed on the infected device and uninstall any rogue software that you find there:

  • From the Start Menu, navigate to Control Panel ->>> Programs and Features ->>> Uninstall a Program.
  • Next, carefully search for unfamiliar programs or programs that have been installed recently and could be related to Netbus Trojan.
  • If you find any of the programs suspicious then uninstall them if they turn out to be linked to Netbus Trojan.
  • If a notification appears on your screen when you try to uninstall a specific questionable program prompting you to just alter it or repair it, make sure you choose NO and complete the steps from the removal wizard.

Remove Netbus Trojan from Chrome

  1. Click on the three dots in the right upper corner
  2. Go to more tools
  3. Now select extensions
  4. Remove the Netbus Trojan extension
  • Once you open Chrome, click on the three-dots icon to open the browser’s menu, go to More Tools/ More Options, and then to Extensions.
  • Again, find the items on that page that could be linked to Netbus Trojan and/or that might be causing problems in the browser and delete them.
  • Afterwards, go to this folder: Computer > C: > Users > *Your User Account* > App Data > Local > Google > Chrome > User Data. In there, you will find a folder named Default – you should change its name to Backup Default and restart the PC.
  • Note that the App Data folder is normally hidden so you’d have to first make the hidden files and folders on your PC visible before you can access it.

How to get rid of Netbus Trojan on FF/Edge/etc.

  1. Open the browser and select the menu icon.
  2. From the menu, click on the Add-ons button.
  3. Look for the Netbus Trojan extension
  4. Get rid of Netbus Trojan by removing it from extensions

If using Firefox:

  • Open Firefox
  • Select the three parallel lines menu and go to Add-ons.
  • Find the unwanted add-on and delete it from the browser – if there is more than one unwanted extension, remove all of them.
  • Go to the browser menu again, select Options, and then click on Home from the sidebar to the left.
  • Check the current addresses for the browser’s homepage and new-tab page and change them if they are currently set to address(es) you don’t know or trust.

If using MS Edge/IE:

  • Start Edge
  • Select the browser menu and go to Extensions.
  • Find and uninstall any Edge extensions that look undesirable and unwanted.
  • Select Settings from the browser menu and click on Appearance.
  • Check the new-tab page address of the browser and if it has been modified by “Netbus Trojan” or another unwanted app, change it to an address that you’d want to be the browser’s new-tab page.

How to Delete Netbus Trojan

  1. Open task manager
  2. Look for the Netbus Trojan process
  3. Select it and click on End task
  4. Open the file location to delete Netbus Trojan
  • Access the Task Manager by pressing together the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys and then selecting Task Manager.
  • Open Processes and there try to find a process with the name of the unwanted software. If you find it, select it with the right button of the mouse and click on the Open File Location option.
  • If you don’t see a “Netbus Trojan” process in the Task Manager, look for another suspicious process with an unusual name. It is likely that the unwanted process would be using lots of RAM and CPU so pay attention to the number of resources each process is using.
  • Tip: If you think you have singled out the unwanted process but are not sure, it’s always a good idea to search for information about it on the Internet – this should give you a general idea if the process is a legitimate one from a regular program or from your OS or if it is indeed likely linked to the adware.
  • If you find another suspicious process, open its File Location too.
  • Once in the File Location folder for the suspicious process, start testing all of the files that are stored there by dragging them to our free online scanner available below.
  • Each file will be scanned with up to 64 antivirus programs to ensure maximum accuracy
    This scanner is free and will always remain free for our website's users.
    This file is not matched with any known malware in the database. You can either do a full real-time scan of the file or skip it to upload a new file. Doing a full scan with 64 antivirus programs can take up to 3-4 minutes per file.

    • Go back to the folder where the files of that process are located and delete all of the files that you are allowed to delete. If all files get deleted normally, exit the folder and delete that folder too. If one or more of the files showed an error message when you tried to delete them, leave them for now and return to try to delete them again once you’ve completed the rest of the guide.

    What Is Netbus Trojan?

    If you are here because you think Netbus Trojan may be in your computer, you’ve likely already noticed some of its potential symptoms. Even though most of the time Trojan viruses are good at covering their tracks and not showing any obvious signs of their presence, there are still a number of possible indications that there may be such a virus in the computer.
    One big example are the dreaded BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) crashes. Those blue error screens that occur after a system crash could be due to all kinds of problems with your computer but it is certainly possible that one of these potential problems is a Trojan horse attack.
    Similarly, screen freezes, system slowness, program errors, software and data corruption, as well as other similar disturbances are also possible Trojan horse signs. In addition, if you notice any unauthorized changes in your system settings or in the setting soft the browser, this, too, could indicate there’s a Trojan like Netbus Trojan, Wup.exe, or Altruistics in the computer.

    Is Netbus Trojan dangerous?

    As we mentioned at the start of this post, threats like Netbus Trojan are typically very versatile so its difficult to tell their exact goal in each infection instance. Still, the most common ways in which such Trojans are used are to take over the attacked machine and use all of its resources for spam distribution or cryptocurrency mining or to gather sensitive data from the machine and use it for blackmailing or banking theft. Additionally, some Trojans are employed as distribution tools for Ransomware cryptoviruses so if Netbus Trojan is on your computer, it’s possible that there is also Ransomware as well in the system. Instructions on how you can manually remove the threat will be shown to you in the following removal guide.
