GetX64BTIT.exeGetX64BTIT.exe is a malicious executable that can be installed by various malware

GetX64BTIT.exe is a file that arrives on the system without users' knowledge. Since it is categorized as a Trojan, it might arrive as an additional component if the Windows computer is already infected with other malware. Alternatively, victims might infect their PCs after downloading the file from malicious websites, especially those that distribute software cracks or pirated program installers.

If you use anti-malware software, the GetX64BTIT.exe virus can be stopped and detected under the following names:

  • TrojanDropper:Win64/Tnega!MSR;
  • Trojan.DownLoader30.30823;
  • Trojan.Win32.SMOKELOAD.AO;
  • NetTool.Win32.TorTool.wq;
  • RDN/PUP-XHO-OQ, etc.

If you have noticed this file in the %Temp% folder or your antivirus software flagged it, read the below to obtain more information about the Trojan. We will also explain in detail how to eliminate the infection and remediate the machine.

GetX64BTIT.exe is an executable that essentially could hide any payload within it. To be precise, an EXE file can be named as anything by malware authors. For example, some older versions are known to be delivering GandCrab ransomware – this type of malware can encrypt all personal files on the machine and then demand ransom to be paid in bitcoin to unlock them.

However, most samples of the GetX64BTIT.exe virus turned out to be stealthy, which means that, without a robust security application, it can run for a prolonged time without displaying any symptoms. It is important to note that Trojan makes thousands of changes within an operating system, which can result in the following strange behavior of the infected machine:

  • Various system or program-related errors;
  • Blue Screen of Death[1] errors;
  • Random system reboots;
  • Programs crashing;
  • Apps failing to launch;
  • Stuttering, freezing, or lag, etc.

The main goal of the Trojan can differ depending on its payload. However, judging by its detections, it is clear that its main goal is to deliver additional malware. Therefore, if GetX64BTIT.exe is allowed to run on the system for a prolonged time, it can infect machines with ransomware, rootkits, viruses, coinminers, backdoors [2], and other malicious software, each of which could perform a variety of nefarious tasks.

For example, Trojans are often used to create a botnet – each of the infected machines is used to distribute spam to other victims that would infect them with the same or other malware. Stealthy parasites are also often used by cybercriminals to spy on users' personal information, such as banking data, login credentials, and much more.

Without a doubt, information leaks can end really badly for users in the long term (identity theft, lost money, credit score corruption, etc.). Considering that the infection can also bring additional payloads, it is important to remove GetX64BTIT.exe Trojan as soon as possible.

For that, you can install a powerful anti-malware tool and perform a full system scan. You can also employ our manual guide below, although overall, it is not recommended, as it is difficult to find all malicious files residing on the system after the infection. Note that you can fix the underlying Windows issues caused by malware after its elimination with a repair tool FortectIntego automatically.

Trojans can be spread in various ways – be careful what you download from the internet

Security experts[3] are always warning users about dangers on the internet and that hackers are now using sophisticated techniques to deliver malware to as many users as possible – now more than ever due to the increasing number of people who are connected to the internet on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, many users are unaware of dangers that lurk on the world wide web, while others completely ignore experts' advice and act carelessly. Without a doubt, malware authors are evil, and there is no justification for what they do, but you need to also pay great attention to your online time if you want to avoid the harsh consequences of virus infections in the future.

First of all, make sure you have an anti-virus installed on your system, it can prevent most malware overall. Note that no security software can block all malware attacks, so it is important to stay vigilant as well. Here are a few tips:

  • Never download software cracks or repacked installers;
  • Do not open email attachments of dubious origins (especially documents that ask you to allow macro feature to run);
  • Use strong passwords for all your accounts and never reuse the same passwords;
  • Download and install the latest updates for your operating system and all the installed software;
  • Do not click on suspicious links that ask you to download some files, claim that something is out of date, or that your computer is infected with viruses;
  • Use additional security tools: firewall, ad-blocker, password manager, etc.

How to prevent from getting trojans

Protect your privacy – employ a VPN

There are several ways how to make your online time more private – you can access an incognito tab. However, there is no secret that even in this mode, you are tracked for advertising purposes. There is a way to add an extra layer of protection and create a completely anonymous web browsing practice with the help of Private Internet Access VPN. This software reroutes traffic through different servers, thus leaving your IP address and geolocation in disguise. Besides, it is based on a strict no-log policy, meaning that no data will be recorded, leaked, and available for both first and third parties. The combination of a secure web browser and Private Internet Access VPN will let you browse the Internet without a feeling of being spied or targeted by criminals. 

No backups? No problem. Use a data recovery tool

If you wonder how data loss can occur, you should not look any further for answers – human errors, malware attacks, hardware failures, power cuts, natural disasters, or even simple negligence. In some cases, lost files are extremely important, and many straight out panic when such an unfortunate course of events happen. Due to this, you should always ensure that you prepare proper data backups on a regular basis.

If you were caught by surprise and did not have any backups to restore your files from, not everything is lost. Data Recovery Pro is one of the leading file recovery solutions you can find on the market – it is likely to restore even lost emails or data located on an external device.
