Remove Win32/Olmarik (Uninstall Guide)

Win32/Olmarik is a Trojan horse that may secretly download and install malware on your computer. It may also display fake security warnings and misleading pop ups to scare you into downloading malicious software voluntarily. Usually, Win32/Olmarik displays misleading warnings saying that your computer is infected with spyware, viruses and other malicious software. If clicked upon, these fake security alerts begin downloading rogue anti-virus software or spyware. Win32/Olmarik may also collect data (keywords entered into search engines, operating system version, etc.) and serve as a backdoor. Some variants of this Trojan can be controlled remotely. For example: Win32/Olmarik.AGF. It also replaces the original (Master Boot Record) of the hard disk drive with its own program code. There is also the Win32/OlmarikTdl4 which is a newest version of this Trojan horse. Unfortunately, Win32/Olmarik can not be manually deleted. Thankfully, there are standalone removal tools that are capable of removing this dangerous infection from your computer for free.
