File Manager Trojan is a small Visual Basic trojan. This trojan can only transfer files, as the name suggests. When we tested the trojan it kept opening copies of itself. So, if you get infected with this trojan your system will become sluggish.

Manual removal:

  1. Remove the MSDOS key in the registry located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices. Which can be done with regedit or any other registry editing program.
