Vindor

Vindor is a very dangerous and extremely destructive Trojan Horse infection that can cause serious problems the likes of system destruction, theft of personal information and various other harmful effects. Vindor usually enters the system when the users explore and click on stuff that’s in insecure Internet sites, different sketchy file-sharing networks, online chats, shady links, spam messages or spam email attachments, however, there may be many other potential sources.

As a typical Trojan, Vindor may quietly operate in the background of the OS and wait for specific instructions from its creators. Depending on what it has been programmed for, the malware may cause its damage in a number of ways. For instance, it may try to affect the Windows registry by deleting important Registry keys and it may start other destructive activities. It may also fill your computer with other viruses (including Ransomware or Spyware) in order to help them complete their criminal tasks. The Trojan may also have the ability to block your antivirus program (especially if it is outdated) and hide its presence for days, weeks, or even months before the victims actually come to know about the infection. Moreover, Vindor Malware can connect to various malicious servers and transmit or secretly insert other malicious infections such as Rootkits or keyloggers, which can exploit system resources and transmit sensitive data to their criminal creators.

Unfortunately, threats such as Vindor Malware and Taskbarify work very differently from normal computer viruses and have little to no visible symptoms which can give them away. Therefore, their detection and effective elimination usually require some advanced skills or a professional removal tool. That’s why, if your computer has been compromised by a Trojan Horse, your best chance to remove it is to scan your computer with reliable removal program or strictly follow the steps of a manual removal guide.

Uninstall the Vindor 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 Vindor. 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 Vindor, then select uninstall, and follow the prompts to delete the app.

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, click More Details (if it’s not already clicked), and look for suspicious entries that may be linked to Vindor.

If you come across a questionable process, right-click it, click Open File Location, scan the files with the free online malware scanner shown below, and then delete anything that gets flagged as a threat.
