Troj/Agent-URP is known to be a mischievous Trojan infection which is involved in fake RIAA emails that are distributed online by scammers. Spam emails including Troj/Agent-URP cover itself as messages sent by RIAA and come with a subject line: 'Notification of Copyright Violation'. Bogus emails inform a recipient that RIAA has spotted his/her IP address distributing copyrighted material. Thus, a recipient is encouraged to look through an attachment which allegedly encompasses information about illegal Internet-traffic and also send a reply to the email in 14 days failing which he/she will be accused of copyright violation and put under usual legitimate procedures. Scammers try to trickily press the recipient to open the attachment that includes Troj/Agent-URP, which automatically makes a telephone call to Russia obviously in fear that the recipient may get sued. The fraudulent email is further flawed in that when a recipient does anything illegal, it's his/her ISP, which would contact him/her to inform that certain party had filed a case against him/her and so the ISP was supporting the party his/her records towards abiding by the law. But, this isn't specific for the discussed emai. However, there won't be any contact made with the erring user via email regarding his/her arrest in case of failure to abide by the requests like those claimed within the unsolicited email. A probable way of announcing the PC user will be through authorized postal correspondence. You need to delete such deceptive emails and perform a complete system scan by using a reputable anti-virus program in order to get rid of Troj/Agent-URP.
