Remove Trojan:Win32/Medfos.B and Trojan:Win32/Medfos.A as apair of smeaky redirects related to unwanted toolbars

Trojan:Win32/Medfos.B and Trojan:Win32/Medfos.A are two malicious applets of the same family. They are designed by hackers in order to modify user’s browsing experiences resulting in traffic generated to the destinations of interest to hackers. In particular, the re-router for browsers creates for its controllers an income based on user’s opening websites, which owners pay the hackers for every visit arranged by one of the above trojans.
In the wild, the infections have been observed to attack Internet Explorer and Firefox. In Mozilla, the malware adds Translate This! 2.0 toolbar, which users like to be removed, too.
Removal of Trojan:Win32/Medfos.B and Trojan:Win32/Medfos.A does not apply to browsers only and is not available by changing or reinstalling the applications used on infected PC for the purpose of web-navigation. Get rid of Trojan:Win32/Medfos.B and Trojan:Win32/Medfos.A to manage your Internet sessions according to your preferences instead of contributing to hacker’s income.
