Epicunitscan.info

The Epicunitscan.info URL may be linked to Trojan infections. Various anti-malware applications block Epicunitscan.info and content associated with Epicunitscan.info because this URL has been linked to Command and Control servers associated with Trojan infections. Epicunitscan.info may be linked to an outbound message from the victim's Web browser, in many cases Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. These types of outbound messages may indicate that a threat infection or PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) is trying to establish contact with an external server in order to do one of the following things:

• Epicunitscan.info may be collecting information about your computer's settings.
• Epicunitscan.info may be receiving information from a threat infection on your computer so that Epicunitscan.info will be configured or updated.
• Epicunitscan.info may be collecting information about your online habits, browsing history and other data for use in marketing or other suspicious activities.

In the best of cases, Epicunitscan.info may be linked with PUPs, and in the worst with Trojan infections. PC security researchers advise allowing your security software to block all outbound messages to Epicunitscan.info. These types of messages may indicate the presence of threats or a PUP on your computer, which should be erased immediately with the help of a fully updated security application.

Epicunitscan.info and Its Association with Trojans

Trojans associated with Epicunitscan.info may be distributed in a variety of ways. In some cases, these Trojans may be received as threatening email attachments. They also may be present on file sharing networks or torrents disguised as free applications or media files. Trojans may try to trick you into downloading and opening a file in order to install these types of threats. To do this, they will disguise the file, making it look like something that you may want. Once a Trojan has been installed, it makes unwanted changes to your Web browser and computer settings which allow it to run automatically or interfere with other software. Most Trojan infections also may attempt to establish communication with a Command and Control server as soon as possible. This communication allows the Trojan to send and receive commands as well as transmit data about your computer. To carry these types of operations, Trojans may need URLs like Epicunitscan.info.

Protecting Your Computer from Trojans Linked to Epicunitscan.info

Trojans represent a significant threat to your computer's safety. Because of this, PC security researchers consider it a priority to protect all data and computers from these types of attacks. Security experts suggest three steps that computer users should take to prevent Trojans linked to Epicunitscan.info from entering their computers and affecting their data and computers' behavior:

1. It is important to ensure that your computer and network are fully protected from phishing websites and threatening URLs like Epicunitscan.info.
2. It is also important to ensure that all security releases and patches have been installed. The best way to be secure against threats is to take steps to keep security protection in place.
3. Do not download files from unknown sources or with unknown content. Also, avoid clicking on unknown links or opening email attachments from unknown sources. Previously, it was recommended to avoid files with extensions like .exe, .scr, .lnk, .bat, .vbs, .dll, .bin, and .cmd. However, this type of advice is outdated. It is possible to embed threats in many types of files that are traditionally considered safe, such as .pdf or .doc files. Because of this, malware analysts recommend using common sense to evaluate the source of the file download and a strong anti-malware solution to ensure that any infected files are caught before they can enter your computer.
