Use a 'standard'-user level account instead of an administrator-level login when logged in for day-to-day use. Definitely don't do peer-to-peer filesharing.ĭon't be too quick to click links without checking /judging whether link is safe.īe wary of unsolicited emails with attachments you did not expect.

I have everything on my computer updated and in as secure a condition as possible. Going by what is in the article on the top of this page entitled, ' How did I get infected.'. This trojan managed to disable the Web Shield and Mail Scanner functions in my Avast AV (free version), as well as, make it impossible for me to even access the Internet, regardless of whether I used IE8 or FF.Īlthough, SAS removed it & rebooted the computer, I ended up having to haul this machine to a repair shop and shell out $123 just to fix it so I could get on the Internet again. My computer did not display any unusual behavior beforehand, etc.so needless to say.I was rather surprised to find I had acquired this nasty piece of junk! Back on April 2nd, during a normal SAS quick scan, it detected the presence of the Trojan, gen Sirefef.
