hi guys,
at present khatra.exe is increasing its havoc..
the virus when uploaded in any system creates the .exe file in the name of the folders along with the icon of the folder..
later when it reaches the windows folder it disabled the regedit and control panel by reseting there registry values..
more havoc comes when the virus effects the whole disk ,the disk becomes inaccessible..
the virus spreads mainly from any shared folders or any removable drive..
so careful when sharing folders or using removable storage..
can any one tell how to defend it and the concept of the virus??
I think you have to install avira antivir to protect your pc from that lvly virus. But before that you have to install first trojan remover and then scan system fully. After this you can install avira and you are free to live from that virus. you can download avira from it's own site.
This works in mine nd my frnd's pc and i hope it will works on your pc too..
Note: When you are infected a message will be shown that “You ‘ve files ready to be written to cd” because this one copies the files to cd-burning folder..!
AVG may not detect this..
You can remove this manually.
Login in Safe Mode. If you have linux it’ll be much easier. Kill the processes,Delete the files using KillBox
Xplorer.exe
