Mebroot becomes More Stealthier!!

Well Here is something we should all be on the look out for:
[ad#cricket-right-ez]
Thousands of Web sites have been rigged to deliver a powerful piece of malicious software that many security products may be unprepared to handle.

Mebroot inserts program hooks into various functions of the kernel, or the operating system's core code. Once Mebroot has taken hold, the malware then makes it appear that the MBR hasn't been tampered with.

[Via Pcworld Magazine]

I will be updating my [intlink id="2205" type="page"]Malware Resource[/intlink] for the Prevx Software, but this looks to be a very bad root kit.  From my understanding most of the security related software.   It seems this little program will become even harder to detect and remove.   It also looks like this is ready to start infecting people with this root kit.   You should update every part of your system from [intlink id="3327" type="post"]Windows Patches[/intlink] to Browser. [intlink id="2229" type="post"] Securnia once said[/intlink] that most people are not patched fully!!  Just like the [intlink id="3301" type="post"]Conficker Worm[/intlink], if your not fully patched and keeping anti-virus and Firewalls on your system then you might as well be walking on nails.
