Could you please help me? There is the Trojan.FileHarakiri virus on my computer http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/4/3/upload/075b2803.jpg My antivirus is unable to do anything. This virus is corrupting my files and I can't open Word and Excel files, as well as my photos and e-mail. How do I delete it from my computer? Can I still save the files?!!!
Trojan.FileHarakiri is a fake virus detection included in the fake License expiration error being exhibited by rogue antivirus programs. Trojan.FileHarakiri does not really exists on the computer. It was rather a trick commonly employed by rogue developers to scare computer users. This fake alert will attempt to induce its victims into purchasing the licensed version of a rogue program. For them, displaying fake alerts are the best convincing method to sell their potentially unwanted application. This fake pop-up must be totally ignored. Its messages may seem believable especially when declaring a presence of Trojan.FileHarakiri. Removal Tool: In order to completely remove the threat from a computer, it is best to download and run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: http://www.precisesecurity.com/tools-resources/adware-tools/malwarebytes-anti-malware/ Sometimes, Trojans will block the downloading and installation of MBAM.

hi. It's an old virus, and it usually invades your computer to make you pay money. As you pay, your credit card information is being stolen, and it is later used to steal the money from it. However, even after you pay, the virus does not get deleted from the computer. Here I have written a short instruction on how to delete it (although I still think it may not work for all the versions of the virus): 1. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon - replace Shell via explorer.exe 2. kill alert.exe process 3. remove $APPDATA\Primary it's far more complicated to restore the files. Not all of them can be restored. I tried programs http://www.recoverytoolbox.com and http://www.quetek.com/prod02.htm?sou...FYHozAodvEz-lA, but the one that works the best is http://www.recovernow.me/?refid=17. It helped me with e-mail files and photos that other programs failed to restore
