Possible system changes
If the Trojan has been executed and a hacker has executed files on your computer, it may be difficult to determine exactly what has been done, even after the Trojan has been removed. If you are familiar with your operating system and how to use system repair or system checking tools, we suggest that you fully check the system for any of these modifications and revert them.
