Can’t get rid of Trojan:Win32/sirefref!crg? How to remove this virus as my anti-virus programs didn’t help? Well, When i was running Windows Security Essentials, it came up with an alert asking to delete the “Trojan:Win32/Sirefref!crg”. It deleted it but after a restart it is still there. Any suggestions?

How to Remove Trojan:Win32/sirefref!crg Completely?

The Trojan:Win32/sirefref!crg virus is very dangerous and just like its name suggests, this virus gives the hackers “backdoor” access to the computer. They can then search through the files and browser history of the computer in an attempt to find information that they deem is valuable. They are mainly searching for personal information and financial information that can be combined together to give them the details necessary to perform identity theft or completely wipe out financial accounts.

This is a very serious threat and if this virus is detected on the computer it needs to be removed right away before serious damage is done. If left installed, over time the computer will crash because the Trojan:Win32/sirefref!crg virus has the ability to hide itself deep within the directory and attract additional Trojan viruses that will use up all of the computers memory resources and cause the machine to operate very slowly until it just shuts down and crashes.

Step back on think for a moment about what is saved on your computer; personal information like your address and contact details and possibly your social security number that can be found on tax returns or pay stubs. Bank statements that contain your full account number are also possibly saved on the computer as well. When all of this information is pieced together a criminal can have all of the details that he or she needs in order to steal the identity of that computer user and open up fraudulent accounts in the name of that individual. If they gain access to financial information it is quite possible that they will take steps in order to gain electronic access to online banking accounts and transfer all of the money out of the accounts before anyone notices it is gone.

If they see bank websites in the browser history there is a good chance that they will then install key recording software onto the computer and then use that data to match it up with the browsing history. This makes the Trojan:Win32/sirefref!crg virus very dangerous. They can spy on the user and wait until they log into an online banking account, and then using the installed spyware they can then gain access to the account. They will typically change the password right away in order to stall the individual from logging back on while they transfer the money out of the account. You have to remove it ASAP.
