1. Remove the registry entries hidden by Win32.Downloader.gen.Trj

If you notice that the programs on your computer are running abnormally, please check the following entries in the Registry, and directly delete the spyware-related registry entries if found.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \RunServicesOnce

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software \Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Explorer\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft \Windows\ CurrentVersion

Explorer/ShellFolders Startup="C:\windows/start menu/programs\startup

2. It is possibly a way to load the "Win32.Downloader.gen.Trj" malicious programs, by hiding within the system WIN.INI file and the strings "run=" and "load=", so this must be carefully checked.

3. Clean up “IE Temporary File folder” where the original carrier of spyware threats is likely stored.
