How to Fix an EXE Trojan

Services.exe is a file needed for Windows to operate properly. When a Trojan horse, which is a malicious program, invades the computer, it can alter the Services.exe file, leading to an infection. The infection leads to constant pop-up advertisements, hijacked Windows components and downloaded keyloggers. The Microsoft Security Essentials tool is a free antivirus program offered by Microsoft, which removes this threat from your computer.
