Remove Trojan:Win32/Barlaiy.A!dha (Virus Removal Guide)

Trojan:Win32/Barlaiy.A!dha is a heuristic detection (from Windows Defender) designed to generically detect a Trojan Horse.

This Trojan connects to an attacker-controlled forum, blog, or profile webpage on legitimate websites in order to retrieve embedded information about command-and-control (C&C) to be used in the next stage. The C&C information is in encoded form.
This behavior makes this threat a multi-stage remote access Trojan. The technique, sometimes referred to as “dead drop resolver technique”, is used by malware authors to make the initial network activity look like legitimate network traffic. This technique is also used to hide the actual C&C address in a webpage controlled by the attacker. This means that the attacker can update the C&C address anytime. It then attempts to establish connection with the C&C node.
Trojan:Win32/Barlaiy.A!dha may have random hash value because the dropper, detected as TrojanDropper:Win32/Barlaiy.A!dha, appends a large amount of randomly generated data at the end of the DLL file before dropping it.

Trojan:Win32/Barlaiy.A!dha will try to do one or all of the following:

• Download and install other malware.
• Use your computer for click fraud.
• Record your keystrokes and the sites you visit.
• Send information about your PC, including usernames and browsing history, to a remote malicious hacker.
• Give a remote malicious hacker access to your PC.
