What is AdWare.Win32.Agent.aknu?

AdWare.Win32.Agent.aknu is corrupting my computer! I just want to kick this Trojan off my computer totally. However, it seems that it is an impossible mission for me to do as I have used many kinds of computer anti-virus programs to remove it but failed. This stuff drives me crazy! Is there any chance that I can remove it completely? I don’t want to mess up my computer by myself. Any useful advice will be highly appreciated.

What is AdWare.Win32.Agent.aknu?
AdWare.Win32.Agent.aknu is classified as a nasty Trojan horse virus which mainly infects computers with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and 8 systems. Windows computers mainly get hit by downloading free malware or viewing malicious link. Most often, it gets into the target computer by spam mail attachments which sent by cyber hackers or bundle of free software installation. Hackers can forge the title of the E-mails just entice innocent people to open it, also, they will implant this Trojan to other freeware that can be used by computer users. When you open an unknown and dubious link to download some free software, it will bundle itself into the installation and automatically install without your awareness. You should be careful about all the functions of the applications in a bundle that you want to install because that is one of the most popular ways for viruses intruding the target computer.

To make the situation worse, this virus never comes alone. AdWare.Win32.Agent.aknu usually helps other malware intrude into the infected computer so that they can modify the infected system settings and degrade security levels. Generally, it opens a loophole to bring in other malware then activates them secretly, with such infection, the infected computer can be damaged severely. In order to get activated as soon as the system is launched, the windows registry can be changed by this Trojan, it will mess up the registry by replacing some system keys with its own settings. The firewall and anti-virus program on the infected computer can also be disabled, which will make the infected computer get hit by more computer viruses and Trojans.

Under this circumstance the infected computer resources is highly taken up and the system can get stuck time to time, what’s worse, computer will get black screen and even blue screen of death frequently during the use. If this virus cannot be removed in time or even cannot be recognized on a computer, the infected compute will finally come to a complete crash. If the infected machine is connected to the Internet, it can upgrade itself to the latest version and make more damage to the infected computer. Cyber hackers can use this Trojan to infiltrate the infected machines without users’ approval and once the illegal connection is established, they can steal everything that they can use secretly. At that time, PC user will suffer from money loss which is hardly to get the money back.
