When installed on the targeteed computer system, Trojan:Win32/Vicenor.gen!B makes system modifications. Trojan:Win32/Vicenor.gen!B makes various programs work very slowly or takes much time to load. Trojan:Win32/Vicenor.gen!B also downloads malevolent files and modifies the Windows Registry on the victimized computer. Trojan:Win32/Vicenor.B!gen may be distributed onto the corrupted PC via a drive-by download through an exploit, or the computer user may download it thinking it is a genuine software product.
