Trojan.Healsock

Trojans are malicious pieces of software which can look harmless or even useful at first, but in the end they bring nothing but disaster onto the affected computer. Trojan.Healsock is another parasite from the category which can lead to loss of important private data and even other type of malware and spyware infections. It is necessary to remove Trojan.Healsock immediately.

Trojan.Healsock is distributed just like any other Trojan out there. Sometimes it comes along with updates to some software application, disguising itself as a program which can perform a desirable function. The thing is that sometimes a Trojan CAN perform the function that is very much so required by the user, but at the same time, the payload that Trojan.Healsock comes with can be a lot worse than the useful function that it boasts of.

This Trojan can collect and save your important personal information by the means of keylogging, and then sent it out over the network to a remote server. The information may include banking passwords and logins and other crucial data. Also, Trojan.Healsock can prompt the user into downloading some rogue antispyware program. It is more than obvious that this parasite is very dangerous, so the users must be careful when they browse the internet, because Trojan can be there behind any link or a flashy advertisement. Anything that seems to have dubious nature should be avoided.

Since Trojan.Healsock does not have a definite interface it is hard to determine, if you have been infected. However, there are process files associated with the parasite, so if you have them in your Task Manager, you might as well start up a complete system scan with your antimalware program, in search for Trojan.Healsock. The process files which come along with the Trojan are setupvx.exe and GoogleUpdateBeta.exe. The latter one is obviously using the popularity of Google to make it look innocent, but in fact this process is a system backdoor, which downloads various malicious pieces of software onto your computer.

If you don't want to experience a system crash and you want to preserve your important information, you must delete Trojan.Healsock and all of its components. Since it is hard to delete parasites like that manually, it is strongly recommended to acquire a reliable malware removal tool, which will do the job automatically, at the same time rooting out all of the Trojan's supplements.
