Kaspersky FippKiller

Kaspersky FippKiller is a tiny application designed to scan your drives in order to identify whether your computer is infected with Worm.Win32.Fipp.a. Fipp worm is a Trojan infection that is known to alter the computer's settings, primarily the registry keys and start-up projects.

You can get a Fipp worm infection by entering untrusted websites that contain malicious applications or unidentified links. The other sources where you can get the malware include opening the attachments in spam emails, updating programs directly from the Internet or downloading and attempting to install some free software solutions.

Since the worm is known to eat up a lot of the computer's resources, one of the first signs you could be dealing with an infection is a considerable reduction of performance. Not only will your computer become slow when performing routine tasks, but you can notice an increase in the RDP traffic if you check the logs.

Because it runs continuously in the background when you start the PC, there is a good chance you can notice numerous icons and shortcuts on your desktop that you had nothing to do with. By far the clearest signs that you have a Fipp worm is the poor performance of your antivirus along with various attempts to access URLs that finish in .ppift.

The infections with Fipp worms cannot be dealt with manually, so cleaning your computer usually entails relying on a tool such as Kaspersky FippKiller for instance. You can open the application and select the hosts you want to scan using command lines (-p for a particular host, -r for flash drives or -q Oco for the entire system, for instance).

Irrespective of the pop-up messages you might be getting during the scan, it is recommended to avoid rebooting your system. After the scan is complete and the Fipp worm removed, you can restart your computer to apply all the changes.

Kaspersky FippKiller enables you to identify if your computer is infected with this malicious app and take the necessary steps to permanently remove it.
