New Year spam happy2008.exe delivers malware

in Internet Security

With the New Year at hand, malicious email is on the rise.

You may receive something similar to this:

It’s the new Year
Joyous new year

Containing a link that obviously one should not click to open.

Which during two separate downloads, was detected as delivering TR/Rootkit.Gen, TR/Renos.31288.28

That is great, but once you have it because one of your employees downloaded the Damn thing…how do you get rid of it. Symantec has been rendered useless, and AVG gets the entire computer rebooted in the middle of every scan.
