To come across a Trojan horse like Randet might be one of the most devastating experiences that you could have with your computer. This malware is technically unable to self-replicate because it is not identical to computer viruses. Yet, it can be much harder to remove it than you can anticipate. What’s more, the size and the type of the damage that Randet can cause is literally unknown since this threat can be programmed to perform different criminal tasks one after the other, and that, without causing apparent symptoms. In the following lines, you will learn more about the specifics of this infection and Trojan horses in general.

The Randet Malware

The number of victims affected by the Randet malware is growing gradually that’s why we have come up with a simple, yet effective removal guide which is dedicated at helping you and other web users to safely and quickly remove this Trojan from their machines. That’s why if you have had the bad luck to encounter this malware – don’t panic. On this page, you can also find a tested the Randet malware removal tool that can scan your system for any hidden Trojan scripts and automatically remove them if you are unable to delete them on your own.

In any case, it is crucial that you take actions against Randet as soon as possible because this infection can harm your system in countless ways if not removed in time. The hackers that are in charge of the infection usually seek to gain administrator rights over the operating system to access all main settings. This allows them to secretly modify different files, replace or uninstall existing software and install new apps that serve their interests. They can also start certain malicious tasks and processes in total stealth, disable the antivirus program and even invite other viruses and malware, such as ransomware, spyware and rootkits inside the computer. The unauthorized modifications that the criminals make with the help of Randet and Meduza Stealer may typically result in system failures, including routine errors, unresponsiveness, freezing of certain programs or processes, etc. In essence, the longer this malware stays and runs on the computer, the greater the potential damage.

Private data collection and misuse of passwords and credentials may also be a consequence related to the activity of a Trojan horse in the system. In addition, a threat such as Randet could act as a tool for espionage. If the hackers set it, this virus can secretly collect sensitive information about your personal life, your online activities, your bank details, your credit or debit card numbers and other data that you don’t want to fall in the hands of people with malicious intentions. This can happen through screenshots from your screen, keylogging techniques or through hacking your web camera and microphone. Basically, once the needed information is collected, the Trojan will directly forward it to the hackers’ servers and from then on, you may become a victim of blackmail, online theft, banking fraud and other types of harassment.

Next, Reboot in Safe Mode (use this guide if you don’t know how to do it).

Step1 Uninstall the Randet app and kill its processes

The first thing you must try to do is look for any sketchy installs on your computer and uninstall anything you think may come from Randet. After that, you’ll also need to get rid of any processes that may be related to the unwanted app by searching for them in the Task Manager.

Note that sometimes an app, especially a rogue one, may ask you to install something else or keep some of its data (such as settings files) on your PC – never agree to that when trying to delete a potentially rogue software. You need to make sure that everything is removed from your PC to get rid of the malware. Also, if you aren’t allowed to go through with the uninstallation, proceed with the guide, and try again after you’ve completed everything else.

  • Uninstalling the rogue app
  • Killing any rogue processes

Type Apps & Features in the Start Menu, open the first result, sort the list of apps by date, and look for suspicious recently installed entries.

Click on anything you think could be linked to Randet, then select uninstall, and follow the prompts to delete the app.
