How to remove Hopee?

What is Hopee?

Hopee (a.k.a. Win32/Hopee or Win32.Hopee) is a sneaky trojan. It evades firewall and downloads additional malwares.

Once it gets on a machine, Win32/Hopee creates randomly named files on ‘System’ or ‘System32’directory (it depends on Windows version). It also embeds itself on Windows registry. Hopee is also able to either shut a firewall down or to trick a firewall into taking Hopee as a regular program. This way Win32.Hopee can do its malicious work.

Win32/Hopee downloads malwares from the following sources: 78.109.16.218, zs0.info and v9j.info. It also connects to these addresses to sent information about the infected system.

Such Trojans as Hopee generally infect your system while you are installing a game, opening a picture or playing a video file.

Some Trojans such as Hopee masquerade themselves as useful freeware programs or plug-ins, but are actually bundled Trojans.

As soon as it infects your system, Trojan Hopee gives COMPLETE control over your system to a hacker using the Trojan, who may cause serious damage to your system. A Trojan may alter your desktop or add undesirable shortcuts to various commercial and marketing sites; Hopee is no exception. It may create a backdoor to your system, allowing the hacker to control your system and steal your personal information. Unlike viruses and worms, Trojans like Hopee do not reproduce by infecting other files nor do they self-replicate and each new victim must run the infected file.


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Trojan such as Hopee?

Slower System Performance: Most Trojans are not optimized and coded very poorly, which causes your system to become unstable, slow and unreliable, as such Trojans are constantly running in the background.
Slow internet connection: Trojans are constantly using your internet connection to send your private information to remote servers, as well as receive data from third party servers, which causes much slower internet connection speed and overall connection instability.
