Trojan.Win32.Neurevt is a Trojan infection that may compromise your security, install other threats and damage to your computer. Like most Trojans, Trojan.Win32.Neurevt can spread using several means, including social engineering or taking advantage of other threats. The definition of a Trojan implies that, unlike other kinds of threats, these types of infections are not able to disseminate on their own from one machine to another and often require that the computer users themselves execute their content (this is why they have their name after the Trojan Horse from the Greek literature). Once Trojan.Win32.Neurevt has been installed, Trojan.Win32.Neurevt may open a path for third parties to access your PC, allowing them to take over your computer or carry out any number of known unsafe tactics. In case of a hint that your machine has been exposed to Trojan.Win32.Neurevt, PC security researchers advise removing Trojan.Win32.Neurevt immediately with the help of a strong, reliable anti-malware application.

Trojan.Win32.Neurevt has been Associated with One Social Engineering Tactic in Particular

Security researchers have reported that Trojan.Win32.Neurevt spreads using several newer spam email campaigns that try to trick inexperienced computer users into opening a fake image file. By using spoofed email addresses, these corrupted email messages convince computer users that their friends have sent them an image or that a photo of them has been uploaded to a social networking website. Some examples of misleading tactics associated with Trojan.Win32.Neurevt include fake emails from T-Mobile that claim to be associated with MMS messages and bogus notifications from Instagram and other social networking services. Fake Instagram emails in particular have been linked to the Trojan.Win32.Neurevt infection.

The victim receives an email message claiming that a friend has uploaded a photo to the victim's Instagram account. These email messages are usually badly written, containing a large quantity of spelling and grammar errors that would normally not fool more experienced computer users. The attached file in these email messages is an executable file that has been disguised as a JPEG by using a double file extension in the file's name. To prevent Trojan.Win32.Neurevt infections, malware researchers strongly advise that computer users avoid opening unsolicited email attachments.
