Dare to open any .doc or .jpg file? After reading this, you won’t take it easy!
I’m not challenging, a sizzling fact has come to the light that malware are now using trusted computing industry’s standard i.e. Unicode, to mask themselves. Avast security Lab has named the new deceiving tool as "Unitrix". Thus, what seems to be a simple word file or image file could be a payload of viruses and Trojans, raising the potential threat level on your machine.
“Unicode” displays alphabets written in a right-to-left schema such as Arabic or Hebrew and flips the displayed text after special hidden codes such as 0x202E (right-to-left override) are added to the file name. An infected malware file with “gpj.exe” is displayed to the recipient as the more innocent sounding “photo_D18727_Collexe.jpg”.
Next time, don’t ignore any warning or pop-up associated with such files. Avast help can come into your rescue, provided you are in time.
Experts can readily take the ownership of your machine to fix any related issues in no time. They can backup and successfully edit the Windows Registry to remove the culprit.
