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.
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.

- Look for the Netbus Trojan process
- Select it and click on End task
- 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 accuracyThis 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.

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.

- Now you need to carefully search for and uninstall any Hostingcloud. racing-related entries from the Registry. The easiest way to do this is to open the Registry Editor app (type Regedit in the windows search field and press Enter) and then open a Find dialog (CTRL+F key combination) where you have to type the name of the threat.
- Perform a search by clicking on the Find Next button and delete any detected results. Do this as many times as needed until no more results are found.
- After that, to ensure that there are no remaining entries lined to Netbus Trojan in the Registry, go manually to the following directories and delete them:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Random Directory.
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run/Random
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main/Random
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.
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.
