This XPAntivirus2009 is getting downright nasty.
Looks like whoever is behind this thing is updating it almost constantly. It appears to be getting through almost every real antivirus program right now. I cleaned it from one client's computer two weeks ago, no problem. Yesterday he brought it back, and it was a hell of a lot harder to excise it this time.

It's a horse race, and it's nose to nose. I sure do hope this asshole runs out of ideas soon!

1. I've seen it on about 5 machines that were brought to me.
The one thing in common to all of them was they used Internet Exploder.

2. Ditto what hobbit said ...

Wherever I've seen it (and I've seen it a lot) Exploiter was in use extensively.

3. Another good reason to fire up the fox, or
sail with Magellan, huh?

4. Malwarebytes kills it pretty quick.
I have run into this little nasty quite a few times and malwarebytes has killed it every single time with no issues.
