KMS-R@1n.exe just keeps slowing down my computer and you cannot remove it?

Have you dealt with Trojans? If so, you’re now perfectly aware how problematic your situation is. The KMS.R@1n.exe virus is a classic Trojan horse. It brings to you nothing but trouble, it is aggressive, dangerous and stealthy. And, it doesn’t belong on your computer. Take action before this pest manages to cause you some irreversible damage. No infection is to be underestimated, especially such a tricky one. Trojan horses are famous for being secretive. That means, unlike ransomware, they wreak havoc in silence. It may take you a good while to even realize something is off with your device. The virus uses that time to make modifications. For starters, this nuisance changes your system registry. It also modifies some system files and damages others. That means not all programs will run. Unfortunately, the parasite’s long list of malicious traits is just getting started. Since the moment it lands on board till the moment you take action, this pest steals data. Consider your private life online no longer private. Trojans spy on your browsing-related activities. For example, browsing history, IP addresses, email addresses, usernames and passwords. However, we’re talking about one of the most destructive types of parasites out there. The Trojan goes a step further and steals personally identifiable data. What does that mean? It means your bank account information isn’t safe. Hackers are trying to steal as much private data as possible. Needless to say, your information gets sent into the wrong hands. Cyber criminals are the last people who should have access to such valuable details. They usually sell the information collected to third parties. At the end, you have no idea where and for what purpose your data is sent. One thing you could be absolutely positive about – crooks will find a way to make money out of your information. The question is, are you going to risk it? Are you going to ignore the threat knowing how dangerous this program is? Now that hackers have stolen your private data, you may experience several issues. Among them are financial scams and various frauds. If you’re particularly unlucky, you could fall victim to identity theft as well. Trojan horses are definitely not something you should keep on board. To delete the virus manually, please keep on reading.

How did I get infected with?

The most plausible explanation is that you opened a corrupted email. Despite being the oldest technique, this is still a very popular method. Hackers don’t have a single reason to give it up anytime soon. Therefore, next time you receive some suspicious email, do not open it. Malware only needs one click to be let loose. Instead of jeopardizing your safety, be cautious. Preventing virus installation is much less difficult than uninstalling a virus. Hackers could send all sorts of parasites via spam email-attachments. Stay away from those as they might be corrupted. Same thing goes for the messages in social media. They could be posing a huge threat to your safety as well. Trojans don’t rely on your cooperation to get installed. Instead, these infections take advantage of your haste. Be careful what software updates or freeware/shareware bundles you install. In addition, avoid unverified websites, third-party pop-ups, torrents. Remember that the Internet is infested with potential intruders. Do not let any of them harass you. Also, always check out thoroughly the programs you give green light to. There might be some vicious infection attached to the seemingly safe bundle.

Why is this dangerous?

How can you tell whether you have a Trojan horse on your machine? Most of the time, you can’t. These programs work completely behind your back and leave you oblivious to their presence. However, you may notice a change in your PC speed. The parasite takes up a lot of CPU memory. As a result, your computer will underperform, freeze and crash. You might also come across the Blue Screen of Death occasionally. Trojan horses often serve as back doors to other kinds of parasites. For instance, ransomware. In addition, some of your browser settings may get modified. If the virus alters you browsers, wave your entire online experience goodbye. You will not be able to get rid of sponsored web links, various ads in various shapes, pop-ups and other commercials. Also, you get redirected to random websites which may turn out to be malicious. Last but not least, Trojans could grant hackers remote control over your very own PC. You will find our detailed manual removal guide down below.
