Dfinject CA (known to Symantec as Backdoor.Trojan, Kaspersky as Backdoor.Win32.Hupigon.gjto, CA AV as Win32/DfInject.CA, and McAfee as BackDoor-AWQ.b) is a Trojan that slips through your system’s backdoor vulnerabilities. Once Dfinject CA sneaks into your computer, the Trojan may install more badware and adware onto your machine.

Unless being part of a botnet of zombie PCs sound like a fun weekend, remove Dfinject CA.
