How did I get infected with?

Trojan/win32.tsgeneric cannot hack your computer. Instead of targeting your device, it tricked you. The parasite deceived you. It got you to install it unintentionally. No, this is not a bad joke. Your reckless actions got you in this trouble. You either clicked on a corrupted link, downloaded a malicious file, or installed a fake update. The bad news is that you could have prevented this infection. Trojan/win32.tsgeneric wouldn’t have succeeded if you were just a bit more cautious. Learn your lesson. Do not let other parasites trick you ever again. Make sure you know what you give a green light to. Choose caution over carelessness.

Did you know that the good old spam emails are still the number one cause of Trojan inspections? But don’t imagine malicious attachments. The crooks no longer rely on them. They still use them, but they prefer to embed corrupted links. One click is all it takes for a virus to be downloaded. Only your caution can prevent this method from succeeding. Let’s say that you receive an unexpected message from your bank, for example. Go to the bank’s official website. Compare the email addresses listed there with the one you’ve received a message from. If they don’t match, delete the pretender immediately. It’s entirely up to you to keep your computer virus-free. Don’t be lazy. Always do your due diligence!
