Trojan.Claretore

Trojan.Claretore is a computer infection that tampers with the Internet browsing, and forcefully redirects the user to malware related websites. If the user does not remove Trojan.Claretore in time, his system gets exposed to even more dangerous malicious infections. This Trojan can hide itself rather successfully, because it injects itself into processes that are running already. Right when it enters the target computer, it adds a new registry entry, setting a value as “Windows Update Server”. This value is set to run automatically whenever the user boots his computer; however Windows is not updated automatically with this new registry modification. Trojan.Claretore runs instead.

Once the Trojan is up and running it intercepts the Internet browser traffic and forcefully redirects you to an URL that is already pre-defined by the hacker behind Trojan.Claretore. Inability to load preferable websites is the main symptom of this infection. Trojan.Claretore simply replaces the HTML files it intercepts with the URLs that are already saved in its setup. For example, this Trojan is known to change the Google Analytics JavaScript (google-analytics.com/ga.js) into hardymaster999.com/ga.js. With the script changed, the Trojan can execute a malicious code that supplies fake Google Analytics results or floods the user with fake advertisements.

What is more, Trojan.Claretore can also report the infection to a remote server over the network. It means that it connects to the Internet without the user’s permission and that can also present various security risks. If you are still not sure whether you are infected with Trojan.Calretore or not, check for DynPatch.exe or nrctiwzr.exe in your Windows Task Manager. These process files are directed associated with the Trojan, and if they are there, then you are definitely infected.

Removing Trojan.Claretore can be tricky, so we do not recommend doing it manually unless you are an experienced computer user. To erase Trojan.Claretore automatically, you need to get yourself a reliable antimalware tool. The tool of your choice will be able to safeguard your system and terminate Trojan.Claretore without further ado. Do not wait until it is too late. Deal with this infection now.
