Backdoor.Win32.Rbot.rhk is a malware detection name for a variant of the Win32/Rbot backdoor. The malware can allow attackers to control an infected Microsoft Windows computer.
An rhk file contains malicious data associated with Win32/Rbot. The rhk extension does not identify a documented, user-created file format; it identifies data related to the malware.
Security products including Norton Internet Security, Avast Antivirus, AVG Antivirus, ESET NOD32 Antivirus, Norton Antivirus, Avira AntiVir Personal, Panda Antivirus Pro, and BitDefender for Microsoft Windows may detect and handle this file. It should be treated as dangerous rather than as a file to use normally.
Do not try to open an rhk file manually. On Microsoft Windows, scan it with security software such as Norton Internet Security, Avast Antivirus, AVG Antivirus, ESET NOD32 Antivirus, Norton Antivirus, Avira AntiVir Personal, Panda Antivirus Pro, or BitDefender.
Follow the security product's instructions to quarantine or remove the detected malware. Do not allow the file to run or attempt to bypass the detection.
An rhk file cannot be meaningfully converted. It is malicious data associated with Win32/Rbot, not a document intended for export to another format.
Use antivirus software to quarantine or remove it instead of using a file converter. If the file is needed for malware analysis, preserve it unchanged and handle it only in an isolated environment.
