It is likely that your account was compromised as a result of entering your password on a website designed to look like Facebook. This type of attack is known as phishing. This can be very dangerous, as an update usually indicates that there is a new potentially harmful virus that the software needs to protect the user from. This could be one of the reasons that the Trojan:Win32/Tracur.AV virus has still been able to harm some computers lately. The antivirus programs have been updated to search for the Trojan.Agent.H virus, but it requires that all users are running the newly updated versions of the antivirus software.

Since the Trojan:Win32/Tracur.AV virus opens up remote access there is nothing safe from cyber criminals from accessing. They can even install keystroke recognition software that will record every single keystroke and send that information to the hackers. This can reveal passwords to email accounts and social media profile, which they can then hack and send spam to all of the accessible contacts. Although this is very inconvenient and slightly embarrassing at least it doesn’t present extreme harm. Now, if they are able to pick up credit card number, bank account numbers and online banking passwords this can be very harmful! Get it off of your computer in no time.

Why Is The Trojan Win32/Tracur.AV Virus So Hard To Remove?

Well, the group that created the Trojan:Win32/Tracur.AV virus is very well aware of how the major antivirus programs work and have specifically created this virus around avoiding those virus scanning programs. This virus is one step ahead of the commonly found antivirus programs. It goes in undetected and since there are no warnings the user doesn’t suspect anything until the major issues and problems begin to surface.

This is a mutating virus that will use different files names and store them in different folders each time. It is very unpredictable and this makes it hard to pinpoint it during a manual clean up. It really takes an experienced user that knows what legit files should be in each folder and location. For the average user it would be next to impossible to locate the fake files infected with the Trojan:Win32/Tracur.AV virus.
