Harry,
this is indeed a new development. Rootkits are too good to be true for malware writers. One can expect more intricate methods of avoidance in the future.
Malware begats malware... once it's accepted as normal for legitimate vendors to deny you service and demand your input, it's a small SE to posing as such things (as this malware does) and triggering the same or similar payloads.
Found this page while researching the topic:

It looks at a couple of these "targeted" attacks in detail.

Any first release for a browser on a new OS is likely to have security issues that they didn't think about, which is plainly obvious with this release. :) Still, we'll see how it plays out in the greater market.

So, what can you do about it? For end users, keep your endpoints patched antivirus up-to-date. For Symantec users, there is a good article at sharpebusinesssolutions.com/savce_upgrade.htm describing how to keep SAV agents healthy and under support. For admins of affected web sites, a simple clean-up of the page is not sufficient - your site administrator’s credentials need to be changed. There are easy to use tools available for MPack to use to reinfect your sites even after you have manually cleaned them up. These automated tools are being fed lists of compromised site admin usernames and passwords, so make sure that you put a strong password on your site admin account.
I hope it's all that they it is because my messenger mean the world to me , anyway good work hope to see more soon chow.
Mostly the computers got infected due to human negligience or actions. The tips given above are good enough to follow to make your pc secure but your actions are still important e.g if you recieve an email containing suspicious email link or attachment never ever try to open it otherwise your actions may cost you.

Hi Dan - I'd suggest going to the VirusIntel site referenced below and running some of the free scans, as this is a virus rather than spyware. If you find a virus, search Google for Nuwar cleaning tools.
If you have the issue of not being able a clean a virus infection, the general advice in this link might help you right away. Most often a virus cannot be removed message can be resolved by cleaning in SAFE MODE:

Of these five legal scams, invention protection and promotion services are the most insidious--as for taking the "mark" for really big bucks, that is. Many of these people are so committed, so devoted to their pet, often lifetime, projects, that they will spring for a good chuk of their lifetime savings to see them succeed.
Those perusing the menu of what these con artists have to offer would do well to take long pause in deciding whether they would rather have red meat, or fuzzy green meat.

All login systems should have a time-out or lock-out after X number of attempted password to foil dictionary attacks.
Great recommendations. I still run into organizations (e.g. websites) with password restrictions like "must be between 5-8 alpha-numeric characters" even though they use 1024-bit SSL. Policies like these drastically reduces the security of the site. Depending on criteria, a 5-8 alphanumeric password is equivalent of 13- to 23-bits of encryption, a far cry from 1024-bit.
Maybe we need to have some central agency issue special encrypted certificates in order for anyone to email anything, If your email doesn't have a cert, it doesn't get mailed.... or received by a mail server. (All isp's would have to jump on the bandwagon). Then if you are caught spamming, they revoke your cert, and you're dead in the water.

Thank you for this information. My worst suspicions have been confirmed re the numerous e-card for you emails I have been receiving lately, none of which I have opened as they appeared suspicious, but I am now deleting all of them without opening as they come from "sister" "family member" etc and are sent at very unlikely hours from email addresses unknown to me. You have been a big help.
i got one of these emails. why is the numeric web address so dangerous
Hi Buck - Excellent Question ... Specifically for the Storm Worm attacks, the URL contains malware that could automatically download and install on your PC. Sometimes the website is taken off line by security firms.
Numeric URLs should be considered untrusted in email or websites unless you are familiar with the site based on past experience (e.g., sometimes websites will switch from a DNS to numerical representation).
I'd add two extras:
1) Do not shop from someone else's computer, including public systems
2) Do not shop via public WiFi hotspots or over weakly-encrypted WiFi
I see (1) is there in the small print, but IMO it's big enough to warrant its own digit.
On (2), Google( "Black Hat" Hamster )
On 'I keep records in folders labeled by vendor in a folder called “My Received Files.', is that the same "data" location that accumulates ?unsolicited Instant Messenger attachments? I'd want to keep such hi-risk material outside of the data set and backups thereof, whereas I presume you'd want to retain and backup details of your ecommerce activities.

The wife bit on this one.
What this did was stop the PC from booting and dusted the restore. To get rid of it I started the PC in safemode, ran ad-aware, which got rid of it a bit, not all. I was able then to normally start the PC. I found another spyware app, cannot remember the name. I ran that and it did eliminate this worm.

I was infected with Trojan: Cutwail .T on 7-27-2007, date of first report and CA failed to locate until an update on 7-30-07. It was discovered by the I have CA Secuirty Suite aka whatever they call it updated for XP Prfessional.
CA Web site had removal instructions and I found NOTHING in regitry entries nor the files allegedly left. I assume CA cleaned the thing up on a complete scan/cure.
Logs show I acquired this from the website WebMd.com, which reuires a user login.
Thx for this web site.
yep, saw this one and KNEW this had to be worse than it appeared. My inate senses seem to be treu. I logged into wife's email and sho 'enof, there it was in some form again.
NEVER, EVER click on an unsolicited email unless you know the sender, and that is still dangerous! I have had family members infect me with a latest virus that CA didn't pickup on yet.
Get a GOOD AV prgm, learn to set it up, use it, update even hourly! (Or before opening emails and never ever go to a website a friend includes within a joke. Remember - no one is running a site for free. If not infected cookies and .com files want to track everything you do.

This file appeared in my laptop in a new system folder (987cc....) on 13 Dec 2006. It was probably after a Windows update. I ignored it until now. I have accidently dragged an important file into the system folder and can't get it out. Message is: "access denied." I tried to delete the msxml4-KB927978-enu.log file but also get: "access denied." Is there any way to retrieve my important folder from this strange system folder?
Hi Gil - You might try booting to SAFE MODE and making sure System Files are visible to Windows Explorer (by setting options). You also need local ADMIN access to your laptop in order to access any system folder.
If this is a company PC, I'd recommend letting Tech Support help you, as they would have ADMIN rights to accomplish this. Good luck and I hope you are successful in the recovery process.
Also, if this is your own PC -- I'd recommend joining Bleeping Computers and posting in the XP Home and Professional forum (2nd one under Operating Systems)
www.bleepingcomputer.com/.../index.php
Thank you very very much. It worked perfectly. I got back my important folder and I deleted the strange folder and it's log file. I had read elsewhere that the folder could be deleted without risk. I'll look into Bleeping Computers. Many thanks.
Works fine.. THANKS

After using repair was the key. It is strange that no errors are returned. It just fails and gives no further info.

My favourite is requirement 2: Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters.
The immediate nit-picky response is "what if the vendor-supplied defaults for other security parameters are more secure than the non-defaults?"
I don't think they mean that you can't use the defaults if they are secure, just that you shouldn't blindly leave the defaults in place.
This solution worked for me after seeing the windows update log files spammed with:
Setup encountered an error: The update.ver file is not correct.
I think i got this stuff on my pc, how am i gonna get rid of it!!
And do you think that the virus could have infekted every single rar fil on my system?!
Hi - While this specific virus is over a year old, I'd recommend using the link below (VirusIntel site) and some of the free online or command-line scanners. Be sure to write down the specific name(s) of any viruses found, so you can match up the right set of cleaning instructions.
(see links on left top side -- "Free Protection and Removal Tools")
These older instructions in the McAfee forums may also help. Most often a complex virus can be cleaned using SAFE MODE:

Internet security requires us to think and act beyond simple system scans and the elimination of threats and risks. It seems to be a popular train of that to focus only on the removal of problems from ones computer. I like to think of desktop security as being similar to ones personal health.
Preventative treatment like exercise and a proper diet can help you stay healthy and ward of disease. The same goes for your computer. You’ve got to practice or having something in pace to help you with <a href=forums.eeye.com/.../756.aspx>intrusion prevention</a>. Sure there are medicines to help you get rid of a cold and the like as there are programs to help remove viruses from your computer. My question is why would you not take preventative measures? Those who get sick to often die or are never the same again after a big infection not unlike a hard drive.
