How to Recognize a Virus.Ramnit.I Infection?
The Virus.Ramnit.I virus does its best to remain hidden from sight. However, if you pay attention, there are some things that will allow you to recognize Virus.Ramnit.I before the infection becomes too widespread.
- Virus.Ramnit.I is specifically engineered to attack 32-bit Windows operating systems, rather than the 64-bit version. Therefore, if you are noticing the effects of a virus on your system and you are running the 32-bit version of this operating system, chances are high that your virus is Virus.Ramnit.I. While 64-bit versions can also be infected, chances are high that your 64-bit operating system is being attacked by something else.
- Virus.Ramnit.I can create copies of itself. These copies remain hidden, but can be viewed if you set your file viewing preferences to make hidden files visible.
- Virus.Ramnit.I will specifically target shared folders and removable USB drives. If you suspect that Virus.Ramnit.I is infecting your system, check these places first for any hidden files. Any computer networking with your shared folder is in danger of being infected. Virus.Ramnit.I could have easily spread from a USB device to a computer's hard drive.
- Pay attention to any changes in your system. Virus.Ramnit.I has been known to change your firewall settings. Virus.Ramnit.I has also been known to make changes in the Windows Registry. Also, pay attention to your usage of system resources. Virus.Ramnit.I will often cause very high spikes in this parameter, causing your computer to become stuck.
What Happens if Virus.Ramnit.I Is Left Unchecked?
Letting Virus.Ramnit.I run rampant in your computer can have catastrophic effects. The main danger is that Virus.Ramnit.I acts as a back door through which hackers can gain access to your computer.

However, the most dangerous effect of having something like Virus.Ramnit.I on your computer, is that your computer may be used as part of a botnet.
