ESET Win32/Poweliks Cleaner Description
Like any other trojan, Win32/Poweliks offers remote access to its creators, collects and shares data without your request, and downloads additional malicious files from the Internet. The ESET Win32/Poweliks Cleaner aims to help you remove this infection from your computer without a lot of effort.
How do you know your computer is infected by the Poweliks trojan?
Win32/Poweliks hides itself in a subkey of the registry and automatically runs its processes at Windows start. If you get infected, you should notice several Dllhost processes running and starting again and again, despite stopping them from the Task Manager.
Other symptoms include Internet pages that are being blocked for no apparent reason, or changes in the security settings of Internet Explorer, which might also block download attempts.
Simple tool for a quick way to remove Win32/Poweliks
If you notice some of the symptoms above, your PC might already be compromised. At this point, ESET Win32/Poweliks Cleaner can be used to detect traces of the infection and remove them all.
The application is simple, requires no installation, it has no options, and it can be used by anyone.
