Where do bloodhound viruses come from?

Answer 1

The bloodhound virus can either be a real threat or something that Norton anti virus finds and reports as a bloodhound type of virus or spyware.

Norton developed the bloodhound as part of their software a few years back. It was meant to be able to detect certain things about viruses. However when it finds something it is not sure of, it will report it as a type of bloodhound virus.

The bloodhound can also be a real destructive virus such as the bloodhound.A virus. This is a low level destructive boot virus that affects the MBR (master boot record) of a windows computer.

This virus has been known to erase files from a computers hard drive and displays a message on the users screen when the payload is delivered.

If you do get a message stating you are infected with the bloodhound virus, it is important to check your system with another antivirus.

You can use an online scanner such as the one from trend micro. Do not install two anti virus programs on to your computer at the same time.

Installing two programs can cancel each other program out and cause windows systems problems. Only have one program on your system at a time.

If you are still having problems and are not sure what to do for bloodhound virus removal, you can visit one of the various online virus/spyware forums on the internet.

There are plenty of people who are willing to help. They may ask you to download a Hijack program and post the results to the board.

By doing this they can see what is going on with your computer and make recommendations.

The bloodhound may also be an alias for a Trojan, worm virus spyware or malware. Some of these may or may not be destructive.
It just depends on the type that it really is. The bloodhound is such a gray area that if you do not seem to get rid of it and cannot find any other help you may need to search Google for the exact virus your software reports.

Some examples of real bloodhound virus threats may be; Bloodhound.Exploit.24, bloodhound.W32.VBWORM, bloodhound.Tibs and more. Each one of these can be different including payloads, destruction, wild, distribution and more.
