MediaUpdate72.com attacked my computer yesterday. I have tried every way to remove it but failed. My antivirus program couldn’t remove it completely. Also, system restore didn’t work. Now I have no ideas how to deal with this worm. What can I do to remove it?
Description of MediaUpdate72.com
computer_worm MediaUpdate72.com is a kind of computer worm designed with the ability to spread from one computer to another without any human actions. This worm has infected thousands of computers and causes a lot of problems, since it has been released by the cyber hackers. Unlike a virus, this worm doesn’t need to attach itself to other files or programs in order to perform various operations. Usually, this worm will copy itself inside the victims’ computers and spread its copies to other computers by making use of the network connections. Typically, it makes use of spam emails to send its copies to the people in the email contact list. Once installed, MediaUpdate72.com can create its own files and registry entries on the infected computers in order to perform corresponding operations. Also, it will download and install other malware such as virus, spyware, Trojan horse and ransomware on the computer. Besides, this worm may allow the remote hackers to gain the access to the infected computers via the backdoor. As a result, the information and data stored on the compromised computers may be captured and misused by the rogue hackers.
Why Is It Hard to Remove MediaUpdate72.com?
Usually, MediaUpdate72.com makes use of the advanced ActiveX, Java and VBScript techniques to inject its malicious components into HTML pages. It can easily lurk into the targeted computers if users do not surf the Internet in safe ways. By using the “bundling” technique, it can get installed on a user’s computer together with some freeware or shareware. Most users find it hard to remove MediaUpdate72.com, since it is designed with the latest programming language and programming technology. Owing to its changeable characteristic, this worm can easily escape from detection and removal by antivirus programs. So, it is not strange that this worm can be detected by antivirus programs like AVG, Norton and MSE but can’t be removed by them completely.
