Ranky is a backdoor trojan horse that allows the compromised computer to be used by an attacker for fraudulent and malicious purposes. Ranky will enable the hacker to gain access to private information, change network settings, and disable or delete necessary system files.

Ranky is dangerous, and should be removed once detected. Additional malware may be installed, and the performance of your computer will suffer.

To remove Ranky manually, you must kill all associated running processes, then locate all related files and values in the Windows registry and other various locations so that they may be deleted. Manual removal is not advised due to the risk of damage to your PC. To remove Ranky automatically, it is suggested that you use a reputable antispyware tool such as Spyzooka, which is designed for this purpose.
