“My Kaspersky Endpoint Security 8 detected Win32/VB.CP yesterday but it seemed that it cannot delete the threat completely. I have tried other security tools to deal with the infection. However, they also failed to clear the threat even picked up nothing. Is the virus dangerous? How can I get rid of it?”
What is Win32/VB.CP?
Win32/VB.CP is a Windows platform Trojan that can open a backdoor onto a compromised PC and enable cybercriminals to obtain full remote access and control of the computer system and steal user’s personal information stored on it. It is written in Visual Basic. This Trojan is dangerous because it may drop and install additional malware infections onto a computer and involve it in harmful DDoS attacks. It can also evade detection and uninstallation of many security programs. Moreover, it can trace the victimized PC user’s financial details and then transmit it to a remote cyber crook for malicious purposes.
During installation, the threat installs a copy of itself on the target PC and adds several entries to your registry so that its copy automatically runs every time Windows starts. It might also add certain registry entry to store some of its configuration data or settings, like its path name, unique ID, and user agent string. The threat keeps running in the background after infection and may bring about many annoying computer problems. For example, your computer runs slower and slower because the Trojan consumes high CPU usage. However, you can do nothing to resolve this issue. In addition, your desktop image may be altered and some files strange to you are downloaded on the PC. That’s because the Trojan is able to download and install random files and programs from a remote server secretly without consent.
