- Delete the original Trojan file (the location will depend on how the program originally penetrated the victim machine).
- Update your antivirus databases and perform a full scan of the computer (download a trial version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus).
Programs classified as Trojan-Clicker are designed to access Internet resources (usually web pages). This is done either by sending appropriate commands to the browser or by replacing system files that provide “standard” addresses for Internet resources (such as the Windows hosts file).
