How do you rid of Trojan Horse Cryptic BGL?
1. Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
2. Run the anti spyware removal programs spybot
3 Run Superantispyware
4. Run a complete scan with free curing utility Dr.Web CureIt!
Use Mozilla firefox or the google chrome browsre for browsing unsafe websites
Most of the above types of clean-up process are very laborious, but still won't protect you.
Active anti-malware is needed to minimize the damage. (Free scanners only find it after damage is done (no removal w/o upgrade$),.
This particular malware is very tricky, and has many names & extensions. I like THC or "Trojan horse Cryptic.".
The main way it gets in your machine is by removable storage (ie: USB RAM (thumb drive), portable hard drive, etc.) which you have used on an infected machine. THC has installed several automatic execution files (Stupid Windows has tried but failed to fix this flaw.), including autorun.inf, which is an easily read (and later deleted!) text file (rClk>open with >Notepad). The text commands point to a new folder & its program files, with random names, (thence much confusion by "Professionals" of all stripes), When you insert the drive on your machine, Windows stupidly opens the .inf file to run the random .exe to install the THC program which immediately hijacks your machine and digs itself deeply into your system files, damaging them in the process. Most anti-malware will not see the problem. Most will not find the damaged files. Most will just destroy the infected windows system files (not repair them from the install backup). None will tell you their limitations.
Computer Hygiene:If you must use your removable storage on any other machine, ALWAYS (BEFORE you leave a possibly infected machine)1. Examine the root folder (ie E:\) for the possibly hidden file "autorun.inf"
2. and its parasitic folder.
3. For now, you can delete them before you get off of the infected machine, and it 'should' be safe to use on your own .
The THC root directory file named 'autorun.inf' will look something like this:
[autorun]
USEAUTOPLAY=1
shellexcute=misko/trubajic.exe
Shell\fak\mi\
shell\\Explore\\command=misko/trubajic.exe
shell\Open\command=misko/trubajic.exe
icon=misko/trubajic.exe
open=misko/trubajic.exe
action=Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer
I found and deleted the file G:\autorun.inf and the folder and contents of G:\misko\ on my school computer, and my own AVG-IS did not do the usual faulty vault complaint.
(I know this is not bullet proof, but so far, so good.) I don't expect Microsoft or any of the (evasive staff) security software programs to get any smarter very soon (They are going on >8 months of denial and obliviance), but it would be nice.

When was the Trojan Horse computer Virus created and by who?
"Trojan Horse" does not refer to a specific computer virus, rather it refers to a particular characteristic of some computer malware. A Trojan Horse or Trojan is a bit of software that masquerades as legitimate software but contains hidden malware. It takes its name from the Greek tale from the Trojan War where the Greeks left a big wooden horse outside the gates of Troy with a bunch of Greek soldiers hidden inside. Just like the Greeks used their "Trojan Horse" to trick the Trojans into bringing them inside their defenses, Trojan malware tries to trick users into bringing the malware inside their computer defenses where it can then do its dirty work - such as (but not limited to) data theft, installing backdoors, turning the user's computer into a zombie in a botnet, trashing the computer. Since "Trojan Horse" only refers to a characteristic and not a specific virus, it is impossible to assign an actual date or perpetrator to it.
It should also be understood that a Trojan is not really a virus. A virus replicates itself without user intervention, whereas a Trojan relies on tricking a user into downloading it.
According to a survey conducted by BitDefender from January to June 2009, "Trojan-type malware is on the rise, accounting for 83-percent of the global malware detected in the world".

Will fps creator give you a virus?
I don't know. If it does you can take a photo of it and paste it in paint and send it to fps and have them look at it
A virus implants itself usually on the hard drive. It will infect the files that it passes through making duplicates of itself. It may be programmed to send itself along with any emails you send, infecting and infiltrating another persons computer. It may also make a "back door" on your hard disk allowing the creator of the virus to access your computer remotely. Symantec has an entire list of viruses, and all of the things that go along with the viruses like how hard it is to remove.
You can usually check if a virus is running by looking at Task Managers 'Processes' and finding a program that is taking up a large percentage of your CPU's power except the idling process saying how much your CPU is idling, other programs that you see are running that take up a large percentage might be viruses or a program that you are running. For example, a program might be a 3D rendering one and your CPU isn't the best one for that, then you will see it taking up a large percentage of your CPU's power. I take extra precautions when downloading anything,i save it but do not open it,it saves to the desktop and i run a virus scan on the file before im happy enough to open it,
Does literoticacom give your computer viruses?
