Zpevdo.B

The Zpevdo.B Trojan can steal important information from your computer

Trojans are by far the most numerous type of malicious software out there. And, therefore, perhaps they are also the most infamous. Trojan horse viruses are responsible for anywhere between 75% and 90% of all malware attacks that occur and there is hardly a user out there who has never heard of them. That being said, not everyone has actually had to come face to face with a Trojan. And that is also because many times these infections can go for long periods of time without being noticed.

This is actually one of the main reasons that Trojans are so popular with various hackers and cybercriminals – they are incredibly stealthy and skilled at remaining under the noses of their victims without the latter suspecting anything. Hence, you can consider yourself quite lucky for having detected Zpevdo.B in your system.

On the other hand, what makes Trojans the malware of choice for the aforementioned circles is their unique versatility. Variants that belong to this group of viruses can be programmed to complete a very long list of different tasks. And, unfortunately, because Zpevdo.B is so new – we do not yet know exactly what its mission is on the computers it infects. But we can tell you that it’s nothing good, and that’s why removing it as soon as possible should be your priority right now.

Therefore, we have compiled a professional removal guide below that you can use to locate and delete this virus from your computer. And if you would rather not get into the nitty-gritty of it yourself, you can also leave the job to our malware removal software, which will handle the whole process automatically with almost no effort on your part.

What to expect from something like Zpevdo.B

There are several most popular usages that we can describe here, just to give you an idea of what Trojans are generally capable of. One is the distribution of spam via your system, for example. Alternatively, your computer’s resources may also be put to work for other purposes, such as mining cryptocurrencies for the hackers or infecting other computers within the same network with malware.

A little more harrowing usage of Trojans like Zpevdo.B, Sakura32.exe, Wup.exe is stealing sensitive information from the infected computer via various means. And, in turn, this information can be used to steal money from you, steal your identity, commit crimes on your behalf, etc. – all depending on what the cybercriminals’ intentions are.

In addition, Trojans often act as backdoors for other types of malicious code, usually ransomware. What this means is that the Trojan horse is the first to enter the victim’s computer, after which it may, for instance disable the antivirus software or in some other way “clear the path” for the other malware, which it will then proceed to download.
