Protect the system from Trojan-Banker.Win32.Bancos

[Aadeshh]

I need to know the methods to protect the system from Trojan-Banker.Win32.Bancos. I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2 and mt browser is IE 8. I am able to get rid of the infections with the help of the Avast antivirus that I have installed in my system. But, I do not know how they enter into the system. I get the alerts of the infections, generally when I am surfing the web. Please provide some suitable solutions to this problem.

To protect the system from Trojan-Banker.Win32.Bancos, I suggest you to keep the database of the antivirus updated. This is because the signatures of the infections needs to be added to the database of the antivirus. Only then, the antivirus will be able to detect and delete the infections, if they ever gain entry into the system. It is of no use even if you use the bast antivirus and do not update its database.

I advice you to beware of suspicious links on the web pages to protect the system from Trojan-Banker.Win32.Bancos. The attackers use this trick of embedding the infections inside the link on the sites, since the unsuspecting users easily fall prey to such attacks. They generally give a very attracting caption to the link. You just have to be aware and stay away from such suspecting links.

Keep the entire system updated to protect the system from Trojan-Banker.Win32.Bancos. The infections are made to infect a particular surrounding or environment. So, if you update the softwares, applications and programs in your system, the environment of the system will change and many a times the infections are not able to do any harm, even if they gain entry into the system.
