Win32.Pointex
Win32.Pointex is a backdoor Trojan program that many aliases to its hacker’s credit. Once Win32.Pointex has entered, it will drop infected files into your registries and then configure itself in such a way that makes it possible to run each time you start up your computer. This program doesn’t want to be seen so it has been designed to run undetected and in the program making it very difficult to find if you are not sure what you’re looking for. However, some telltale signs of infection include a slow computer, strange files popping up and your computer performing function on its own.
