The TrojanClicker.Win32.Delf.y is a dialer that changes your dial up setting and dials numbers resulting in charges to you.  It installs silently, and could end up costing you a significant amount of money if the program is not deleted.

Trojan Clicker tries to deceive you by opening a dialogue box stating “Microsoft Windows-Security Alert.”  Once you click on the button, Internet Explorer will launch directing you to the location where the adware originated from.  The clickers will then send commands to the browser or sometimes replace system files, which will always redirect your searches no matter what you type in the search box.

Mostly, clickers are used to raise and hit-count for the creators advertising.  In some cases, clickers are used to attempt a DOS attack on a specific service or website.  In this case, the goal is to lead the unsuspecting PC user to an infected area where their PC will be attacked by other spyware, adware, and malware.   If successful, it is possible for malicious software to take complete control over your PC and you will not be able to perform any functions.

This sounds horrible, and it is.  At the first sign of any intrusion of malicious activity, you need to take action.  You can attempt to remove the software on your own, but this has proven to be unsuccessful for most who don’t have significant PC experience.  The safest way to remove adware is with software designed to detect and quarantine malicious threats to your PC.  If you want to scan your PC for free, try SpyZooka, a trusted source for 100% guaranteed spyware removal.  Don’t wait until it’s too late; combat adware with SpyZooka anti-spyware protection.
