Conclusion

Up to now, you can completely get rid of Trojan.Gen.2 virus from your computer. But please take care while surfing online after the virus removal. One of the scariest features of the Trojan.Gen2 virus is the ability for the hacker to log keystrokes. The virus records every keystroke and then sends the detailed report directly to the hacker. This allows them to figure out usernames and passwords along with account numbers. This can give them instant access to banking and financial information, as well as access to email and social media accounts. The hackers will then impersonate the account holder and spam all of the contacts and even sometimes request money after fabricating an elaborate story.

The Trojan.Gen.2 virus is very hard to remove because this virus places several files and duplicate files in many hidden locations in the computer. This is done to both confuse and complicate an attempt at removing it manually. Removing Trojan.Gen.2 virus can be hard if the user is not a computer professional.
