   El malware Verecno se distribuye a través de unidades extraibles y unidades mapeadas que han sido previamente infectadas.
   Knlobf oculta las carpetas y ficheros originales, después son suplantados con ficheros maliciosos con las mismas características que los originales, tanto los iconos como los nombres.
   Si no es capaz de ver el contenido original después de la desinfección, asegúrese de que la opción “Mostrar archivos, carpetas y unidades ocultos” se encuentra habilitada.
