Trojan.Fareit.C is a terrible Trojan, which is involved in a malware campaign which incorporates a fake YouTube video. Trojan.Fareit.C is a component of a fabricated email, which allegedly comes from YouTube with the subject 'Your video on the TOP of YouTube'. The unsolicited email includes a malicious link, and if a recipient click on it, a fake page is opened that shows the buffering of a video going on and shortly displays the video. But at that moment, the attacker forces the affected PC user to download and install the Flash Player file called 'Flash_Player.exe', which is identified as Trojan.Fareit.C. The corrupt file has the icon similar to the original file. When run, Flash_Player.exe does not install any player but starts compromising the computer system with Trojan.Fareit.C and another backdoor Trojan infection called Backdoor.Cycbot.G. You should find an effective anti-malware program to eliminate Trojan.Fareit.C as soon as possible.
