What is Rootkit.Necurs.Go?

[nuttysandwich]

Can somebody give me the dummy version of what a Rootkit.Necurs.Go is and is it Deadly? My MBAM detected it and quarantined it but is it actually gone?

[flibberdipper]

If it's quarantined, it isn't gone, but that is not a very fun virus to have.

ooh Necurs! thats a fun one. acts as a backdoor to let other nasties in, allows remote access to your computer, hides itself fucking everywhere, disables your antivirus.

different variants of it are a bitch to remove

 

and no its not gone if it was quarantined. but its contained.

youre card information should be safe.  and mbam has it contained. there is nothing more you need to do at this time. keep in mind, the things i listed is stuff it CAN do depending on the variant, not stuff it will do. didnt mean to scare you     

 

but if you want to do more just to be safe. check out THIS link

I think I deleted it from quarentine in MBAM because I was scared, does this mean that I realeased it back into my computer or is it kinda gone because i ran another scan and it's not showing up

It will most likely be gone from your computer if you deleted it from Malwarebytes' quarantine.

 

All you need to do to make sure is to run another scan. If Malwarebytes caught it the first time, then it won't miss it again. If Malwarebytes finds nothing in the next scan, then the Rootkit.Necurs.Go is gone forever.
