BackStealth is a software program that allows the attacker to take over control of your computer from a remote location, and often use it for malicious purposes. BackStealth compromises the integrity of your system, allowing the hacker to make changes to system files and collect private information as well. System files that are needed for proper operation may be disabled or deleted. BackStealth may also install more malware on your PC. Your computer may run slowly, or even crash. BackStealth may be installed without your knowledge, and is usually caused due to unsafe surfing habits or security loopholes in the browser.

BackStealth should be removed immediately once detected. To remove BackStealth manually, you must first kill all associated running processes, then detect and delete all related files and values located in various locations. Manual removal is not advised due to the risk of damaging your PC. To remove BackStealth automatically, it is suggested that you use a reputable antispyware tool such as Spyzooka, which is designed for this purpose.
