Hello guys and gals. Just a quick post on the RCore<\/strong> trojan<\/strong>. If RCore is installed on your machine, you will see rcore.exe<\/strong> in in the Windows Task Manager and a new service called rcores<\/strong>\u00a0pointing to rcore.exe<\/strong>. I’ll show how to remove RCore in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.<\/p>\n

\"rcore.exe<\/a><\/p>\n

RCore is distributed by a method called bundling<\/strong>. Bundling means that a piece of software is included in other software’s installers.<\/p>\n

When I find some new bundled software I always upload it to VirusTotal<\/a> to see if the anti-malware scanners there detect anything fishy. The detection rate is 14\/52. The RCore files are detected as Trojan.Win32.Generic.pak!cobra<\/strong> by AVware, a variant of Win32\/Agent.WGA<\/strong> by ESET-NOD32 and Artemis!0339F1025037<\/strong> by McAfee.<\/p>\n

\"rcore.exe<\/a><\/p>\n

You can remove RCore with the FreeFixer<\/a> removal tool. Here’s a few screenshots from the removal that should help you: A restart of your computer may be required to complete the removal.<\/p>\n
