    Troj/Bifrose-UV causing system to crash

    My system is infected by the Troj/Bifrose-UV trojan. Whenever this trojan is detected by my anti-virus its crashes my system. Even if I select Take no action the system still crashes. Why is this trojan not getting deleted from my system? How can I delete this trojan from my system? I ma using Windows XP Service Pack 2 and McAfee anti-virus.

    Re: Troj/Bifrose-UV causing system to crash

    On a system infected by the Troj/Bifrose-UV trojan the following actions are been carried out by the hacker who designed the trojan:
    • Modify Windows Security Settings.
    • Manipulate Files and Folders.
    • Turn Off Windows Firewall.
    • Make an entry in the Windows Registry.
    • Take Screen shots and send to the hacker.
    • Random System crash and shutdown.
    • Denial Of Services.
    • Block Anti-virus updates.

    It is not very difficult to locate the presence of the Troj/Bifrose-UV files. The trojan is also being known to duplicate system files and use them to launch an attack on the user computer.
