Where did I get the Trojan:Win32/Fakecorr?

General ways of Trojan:Win32/Fakecorr spreading are basic for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing sites where victims are offered to download the free program, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait emails are a quite modern method in malware spreading – you get the email that mimics some regular notifications about shippings or bank service conditions shifts. Within the email, there is a malicious MS Office file, or a link which opens the exploit landing page.

Malicious email spam

Malicious email message. This one tricks you to open the phishing website.

Preventing it looks quite simple, however, still demands tons of focus. Malware can hide in different spots, and it is better to prevent it even before it gets into your PC than to trust in an anti-malware program. General cybersecurity awareness is just an important thing in the modern world, even if your interaction with a PC stays on YouTube videos. That may save you a lot of money and time which you would certainly spend while searching for a fixing guide.
