Pesky rootkit looks like it's getting refined for attacks
Remember Alureon, the pesky rootkit, which hit the Windows enterprise scene in 2006 and absolutely bum rushed some Windows systems earlier this year?
Microsoft does and will for quite some time. The rootkit, which also goes by some of its technical aliases -- TDSS, Zlob and DNSChanger -- has to date infected nearly 2 million Windows systems.
Alureon is the guest of honor rootkit in Microsoft's recently released May Threat Report. Alureon accounted for 18 percent of all malware-infected Windows PCs in May.
This is Alureon's encore performance as the rootkit du jour in the April Threat Report.
Alureon is considered the culprit for the "screen of death," and system crash issues widely reported when users installed Microsoft Security Bulletin MS10-015.
Microsoft Malware Prevention Center staffers Vishal Kapoor and Joe Johnson said there were "several changes to the design of the rootkit to avoid detection and cleaning, revealing that the rootkit is still under active development and distribution."
This means that Alureon is going to be around for a while yet
