So when your computer gets such Trojan infection.

It may show different symptoms. Initially, your browser search results will be redirected to some unknown webpages which may be full of malicious advertisements and phishing websites. Just like the Microsoft reports, some part of it will download more other additional malware to your computer. So later, you may find more virus will pop up in your computer, as a result, your computer works more and more slowly as if it’s an old machine out of date. Along with Trojan:Win32/Sirefef.AK, Luhe.Sirefef.A, they are brethren in Win32/Sirefef family. Why has your anti-virus detected the virus but can’t get it away from your computer? JS:ScriptSH-inf [Trj] prevents the firewall from working properly by stopping the service “MpsSvc“, which is a part of the firewall. It also opens and listens on port 25700, possibly for commands from a remote attacker. So the infection will lead to your malware defender in paralytic position.
