Remove account-stealing Trojans:
Microsoft today announced the latest version of its "Malware Removal Tool" on its "Malware Protection Center" blog. The biggest highlight is the addition of a detection function for secret-stealing Trojans. For example, Win32/Simda has been identified as a member of a malware family that includes various Trojans, backdoors, stealers, downloaders, and file infections. As a malware variant that remotely connects to infected computers and performs malicious tasks, Simda first appeared in 2009 and has been wreaking havoc in Russia and Europe.
Fortunately, Microsoft has finally added Simda detection capabilities to its latest malware removal tool.
Typically Microsoft releases updates to the "Malware Removal Tool" on the second Tuesday of every month. The tool checks whether a user's computer is infected with specific popular malware (including Blaster, Sasser, Mydoom, etc.) and helps remove it if found.
