Virus.w32.generic_245033 may steal personal information, spy on its victims, collect different types of data and allow its criminal creators to access the system without the victim’s knowledge.
Trojan horse viruses are well known Internet threats and there is almost no computer user who has never heard of them at least once. Virus.w32.generic_245033, in particular, is a sophisticated Trojan horse infection that needs to be treated very carefully if you want to avoid the damage it may do to your computer and remove it without much negative consequences.
