I must admit it is much more difficult to search my 3l1t3 h4x0r 0-d4y w4r3z s1t3s when the products from M$ are.NET and C# and XP and... (to be continued...)
I have to hand it to M$ to come up with yet another cute two letter abbreviation that doesn't pertain to anything! Let's look back and reflect...
NT, (2K?), (VB?), XP, C#, F# ?
I'm seeing a trend towards this... at this rate they will use up all possible character combinations by the year 2154! ([26+1]*[26+1] : 26 for all alahabet chars and +1 for the '#' symbol)
Instead of spawning an uninstall-executable perhaps this should spawn a quick harmless executable that will start an Internet Explorer process directing victims to a website warning that they indeed have this trojan and what action they can take to remove it... My $.02...
