Not sure how this got onto my system, but if you find yourself with a TRAPI32.exe running in the background under the SYSTEM classification, you may be at rough ends trying to use antivirus to clean it up.
I highly recommend that if you don't already have ZoneAlarm (free version) that you get it. I had ZoneAlarm running during the incubation of this virus. Trapi32.exe will make repeated calls to a Ukranian IP address, so if you don't have some sort of network firewall, you might be at a higher risk to suffer damages from this.
The fix is simpler than you think; no antivirus needed. Ending the task won't kill it because it will just come back. Same with "api-ms-win-core-io-l1-1-032.exe" which seems to have come with the virus.
Heres how you get rid of it:
- Navigate to the folder it is in (Mine was C:\Windows\SysWOW64\trapi.exe
- Right click on the exe file. Select "Properties"
- Navigate to the Security tab. Now, under "Group or usernames:" select "SYSTEM"
- Select the "Edit..." button, and click a "Deny" permission. It should mark all under Deny. Accept, and close out (return to the file in windows explorer.)
- Select trapi32.exe in Task Manager and kill it. It shouldn't come back.
- Delete the exe file trapi.exe.
- Done!
- Do the same for the api-ms-win-core-io-l1-1-032.exe file as well. I think it was under C:\ProgramData\
