Retefe

Retefe, or Trojan.Retefe, is a banker Trojan that may cause several problems to the computers Retefe is able to infect. Retefe starts its harmful actions recording the computer users' user name and passwords for their banking accounts. Then, Retefe creates a file that appears to be harmless in order to mislead the system authentication guard and remain undetected. Retefe consumes a huge amount of system resources that will render the system almost useless due to its poor performance. Retefe will harm the security-related applications installed on the affected computer; redirect the Web browser to unsafe sites; add advertisements-supported websites to the browser Favorites folder; cause various errors; change crucial system files, cause crashes; and even the dreadful Blue Screen of death. A unprotected system can be attacked by Retefe via compromised websites, phishing websites, free online scanners, free PC games, corrupted removable storage devices, P2P networks, etc. Retefe can be removed manually, but its removal will demand a highly skilled computer user. Therefore, the recommended removal method is using an updated and strong anti-malware product. If improperly removed, Retefe will block the system from starting up.
