In the time that Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP has been in the wild there have been a number of revisions, with modifications to its functionality, infection strategy and its persistence mechanisms on an infected machine. However, the core purpose has remained: to assume full control of the machine by adding it to the ZeroAccess botnet and to monetize the new asset by downloading additional malware.<\/p>\n<p>Primarily, Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP is a kernel-mode rootkit, similar in ethos to the TDL family of rootkits. It uses advanced techniques to hide its presence, is capable of functioning on both 32 and 64-bit flavors of Windows from a single installer, contains aggressive self defense functionality and acts as a sophisticated delivery platform for other malware.<\/p><div id=\"mwtad1305824909\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_381396-ad_309691-placement_360566\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1471373341\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP virus is distributed through several means. Malicious websites, or legitimate websites that have been hacked, can infect your machine through exploit kits that use vulnerabilities on your computer to install this Trojan without your permission of knowledge.<br \/>\nAnother method used to propagate this type of malware is spam email containing infected attachments or links to malicious websites. Cyber-criminals spam out an email, with forged header information, tricking you into believing that it is from a shipping company like DHL or FedEx. The email tells you that they tried to deliver a package to you, but failed for some reason. Sometimes the emails claim to be notifications of a shipment you have made. Either way, you can&#8217;t resist being curious as to what the email is referring to &#8211; and open the attached file (or click on a link embedded inside the email). And with that, your computer is infected with the Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP virus.<br \/>\nThe threat may also be downloaded manually by tricking the user into thinking they are installing a useful piece of software, for instance a bogus update for Adobe Flash Player or another piece of software.<br \/>\nThe Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP virus is also prevalent on peer-to-peer file sharing websites and is often packaged with pirated or illegally acquired software.<\/p>\n<p>When the computer is infected with the Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP virus, depending what infection is present on your machine, your browser may get redirect to affiliate web pages, you may see pop-up ads or other similar behavior.<br \/>\nBecause Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP is a heuristic detection, this infection might  be just a false positive detection from Norton Antivirus heuristic engine. Nevertheless, if Norton has detected a Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP infection on your machine, we recommend you perform the below removal guide, just to be on the safe side.<br \/>\nSuspicious.Cloud.7.EP is a dangerous threat that uses advanced stealth techniques in order to hinder its detection and removal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"mwtad2665906977\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_309746-ad_309691-placement_360521\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"4456629336\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2>Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP &#8211; Virus Removal Guide<\/h2>\n<p>This page is a comprehensive guide, which will remove the Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP infection from your your computer.
