“554 Rejected Due To Virus” just keeps popping up and you cannot remove it?

Have you received random error messages? The “554 Rejected Due To Virus” pop-ups appear when you attempt to send an email. And they are a clear, undeniable sign of a PC infection. A Trojan. Those of you who are familiar with Trojan horses know exactly why these parasites are so dreaded. Not many viruses are worse than them. Ransomware is probably the only pest which is more virulent than what you’re now stuck with. Long story short, your machine has been infected with a particularly nasty virus. It goes without saying that you have to take immediate action if you want to fix the issue. Trojans are even more dangerous than they are sneaky. As you’re soon to be convinced, though, these infection are incredibly secretive and stealthy. You do the math. The virus that is currently harassing you gets installed in silence. It wreaks havoc in silence as well. For starters, the Trojan modifies your system registry. Various system files might get damaged and some programs will not even run. As you could imagine, all these changes happen behind your back. No Trojan would ask for your consent before it makes modifications. That is because since your computer is infected, your online experience is up to hackers. Aggravating, isn’t it? Your very own device gets constantly modified to serve hackers’ malicious purposes. Needless to say nobody would want to be in this position. The virus may lead to personal data loss. Furthermore, sometimes it goes after your browsers as well. It messes with their default settings. That causes random and unsafe pop-ups, corrupted commercials, etc. The virus might also redirect you to unknown pages filled with malware. Thus, one careless click is all you need in order to compromise your PC further. To prevent that, stay away from all pop-ups generated by the parasite. Same piece of advice goes for its dubious software updates – they are unreliable as well. And that’s not all. The virus monitors your browsing-related information. Passwords, email addresses, usernames, browsing history. Hackers have free access to all of this. You see, crooks have many monetizing platforms to choose from. They will inevitably find a way to make money out of your private details. What’s even worse is that the Trojan could steal personally identifiable information. This pest poses the threat of financial scams and even identity theft. Ultimately, hackers aim at getting remote control over your PC. If they achieve this, you’re in serious trouble. The only way to protect yourself is by deleting the parasite. The sooner, the better.

How did I get infected with?

The virus travels the Web mainly in spam messages. Spam email-attachments are just as dangerous. Thus, we advise you to stay away from anything suspicious-looking in your inbox. Don’t get tempted to click open all the emails you receive as some are malicious. More often than not, Trojans pretend to be legitimate mail that looks very attractive. Watch our for potential threats and don’t be gullible. The Web is filled with parasites so make no mistake. It is much easier to prevent installation than it is to delete malware. Trojans also get attached to unverified freeware/shareware bundles. Unless you want to install a Trojan horse as a bonus, pay attention to the process. Take your time to make sure you’re aware what you download. Another popular virus distribution technique involves corrupted torrents. Stay away from what you don’t trust online and be careful. There’s no such thing as being too cautious on the Web.
