The most effective way is to remove it manually. The following instructions need quite level of computer expertise.

Step A: Check on your start menu if there are any programs that you are not familiar with. The strange ones will often related to the virus process as it can start automatically with the windows. You can press on Windows key or just click on the start menu to view it. Please notice that you need to click on All Programs to have an overall check on it.

Step B: To remove the Trojan the first thing we need to do is to end its process thus we will not get the error message when we delete its files. To do that, open Windows Task Manager to end process related to this Trojan infection. You can press Ctrl+Alt+Del keys at the same time to pull up Window Task Manager; go to Processes tab on top and scroll down the list to find.

Step C: Always any virus files will be hidden files. So we need to show hidden files before we are going to delete them. Open Control Panel from Start menu and search for Folder Options (As an easy way you can open a folder and hold Alt key and tap on T, O key one by one and folder option window will pops up). Go to Folder Options window, under View tab, tick Show hidden files and folders and non-tick Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) and then click Apply and then hit OK.

After we can see hidden folders and files we can go to system files and delete the infected files. The path of the virus often can be found from the antivirus which detects it.

Step D: After we delete the virus files from system data we get to remove the registry of the virus from registry editor to prevent it from coming back. You can get Registry Editor by pressing Windows+R keys to pull up Run box and type in regedit to open Registry Editor.

The following is how Windows Registry Editor looks like.

Step E: Delete all these associated files and registry entries with this Trojan virus from Registry Editor. The registry files are listed randomly. Besides, you need to delete the infection files of the redirect virus from your system files to prevent it from coming back. Those files are named randomly also but may be different on different operating systems.

To Summarize Shortly:

W64.Viknok.B!inf is a deadly Trojan that is often used to gain backdoor access – that is to say remote, surreptitious access, to a user’s system. Trojans do not replicate as viruses do, nor make copies of themselves as worms do. But it still poses a huge risk for computer security. When it is installed a compromised computer, it can perform a series of malicious attacks to damage the computer system such as corrupting system registry files, disabling security programs and turning off Windows firewall. Also when you work on your computer like running a program or opening your browser to get online, computer will freeze and you may keep getting errors saying “Not Responding” or “Windows Explorer is stop working”. Now this Trojan can not be removed automatically by using traditional auto removal way because most antivirus programs have no ability to catch it. Instead, it should be removed manually by deleting the infected files and registry one by one.
