Trojan.Zeraf is a destructive Trojan horse that deletes critical system
files. If it has executed, you will no longer be able to run Windows This
Trojan is programmed in Delphi and distributed as a UPX-packed,
self-extracting RAR archive. (UPX is a runtime compressor for Windows
executable files).
When the Trojan is run, it inserts the actual Trojan executable on the hard
disk as C:\Zeraful\Zeraful.exe and then executes that file.
Trojan.Zeraf displays the following program interface as it attempts to
scan the system.

delete the following files:
