Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
I am struggling with a computer that keeps getting infected with Bloodhound.PDF.20. It is getting so irritation because when it is detected it slows down the computer as Symantec Endpoint 11.0 keeps scanning and detecting.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;I followed Symantec's instructions on how to remove it by updating the virus definitions and running a full scan but it keeps recurring. The only way so far with any progress was to rename the user's profile and create a new one. It worked for a day and now it's back. Where is this coming from?<br />
<br />
Can anyone help me get rid of this virus?

Hello Experts,

I am struggling with a computer that keeps getting infected with Bloodhound.PDF.20. It is getting so irritation because when it is detected it slows down the computer as Symantec Endpoint 11.0 keeps scanning and detecting.

How does someone get Bloodhound.PDF.20?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Anti-Virus Apps

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.

Vulnerabilities

Spyware is software that aims to gather information about a person or organization without their knowledge and that may send such information to another entity without the consumer's consent, or that asserts control over a computer without the consumer's knowledge; it has also come to include programs that engage in various kinds of electronic fraud. Anti-spyware is software that removes or blocks that software; some common vendors include Malwarebytes, McAfee, Spybot-Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware and BitDefender.
