Malware in Enigizer Jolt for PC

Hi,
I have a portable battery usb charged by Enigizer. I use this basically while traveling which is quiet useful. I heard that the software which is provided by Enigizer has virus in it and that can cause my pc to crash. I had scanned recently everything but nothing is detected. Where does this virus is located and how to stop the spreading of same. Thanks in advance.

That is actually correct to some extent. If you have a Energizer's Duo USB battery charger software on you computer then you are definitely under attack. This software is used to monitor the current battery status, then it will much better that you must shut it down and remove it from your PC. The software which is designed to work on PC with this tool has a hidden Trojan in it. So just remove the application from your PC.

The virus stays under a dll files. The name of the file is Arucer.dll. This file has a hidden Trojan in it. The file is capable of sending and receiving files on internet along with providing unauthorized access to anyone remotely. The files incorporate the pc software of Energizer which remains unnoticed. The only best way to deal with this is to remove the software.

It is backdoor virus which uses the benefits of bypassing security application. It uses the full user privilege to spread and spoil system. You can notice that the dll file Arucer.dll is add to automatic execution on startup. So as you run or turn on your pc then this software runs automatically at every startup. It is a dangerous threats. Simply remove the software.

If you have some basic knowledge of blocking Trojan virus then you can deal with this. The issue is that this infection gets double in sometime and everything goes down. Your critical data is also put on risk by this. This is sometime really shocking that branded application like this are too equipped with viruses and uses have to face issues as they are not aware of the same.

The virus is activated once your run the problem. The file Arucer.dl is located on the site of Energizer. The software is available for both MAC and Windows. But in this case only Windows pc are under threat. Energizer had removed this from its site and the produce is discontinued. It is recommended that you uninstall the software and scan your system under safe mode.
