In a sense this worm is infecting files and also in the registry with a random name to start up every time Windows starts.
In a sense it is nasty spyware and therefore detected by Emisoft’s.
@Polonus: Its not Emsisoft which is detecting this. Its Bitdefender.
Almost every AV in that list is using a engine from Bitdefender (Emsisoft, GDtata,F-Secure)
Thanks for that precision. Bitdefender has a wide detection array and sometimes still flags when malcode has already been closed or is dead.
In this case Bitdefender’s detection ha helped us to detect a blind spot with other av. My experience is that DrWeb and avast are also complementary. That is why I also check with Dr. Webs URL scanner. What avast! detects DrWeb may be missing, what avast! misses DrWeb may flag. For the reason you mentioned I still have Bitdefender’s TrafficLight extension both in firefox and Google Chrome browser for the search engine results etc… Comes with an Internet Tracker for web analytics and social network plug-ins blocking and flash off by default) and ads blocking now.
I had some 403 error saying the site was having Capacity Issues or down for Maintence. Are they under attack or something? I’ve never had an issue on MBAM’s website.
They could be attacked or maybe they are doing some maintenance, maybe they need to shutdown the server or parts from them
so they have less capacity then usual.
It takes forever here to load too.
Maybe they are being attacked at the moment, or the hoster is being attacked.
I had seen a livestream some months ago from a youtuber called Markiplier.
And 30 minutes after beginning the livestream someone found out his IP and DDossed his home router.
And what has he done? He got his laptop and his equipment and got over to his brothers house and continued there.
