Troj/PDFEx-ET is a destructive Trojan which is involved in a spam malware attack. The fake email that bears Troj/PDFEx-ET is allegedly sent by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and poses as an account suspension statement. Troj/PDFEx-ET can be sent in a form of the malevolent PDF files. Troj/PDFEx-ET involved in the false email affects the machine even if the PC user didn't open the attachment. The infected PC user will not even be warned about that. The only notice that could be seen is 'loading'. The malicious email automatically downloads Troj/PDFEx-ET into the attacked PC system once the PC owner opens it in the email client such as Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird. If your computer has been targeted by Troj/PDFEx-ET, you need to uninstall it as early as possible.
