Gromozon blowback

Gromozon is a vicious piece of malware which installs on a user�s PC and does almost every crafty trick available to avoid detection and removal, including creating its own user account, using rootkit technology, renaming its files, and a whole host of other nasty things. And it�s certainly popping up on the radar out there in the security community.

But now these Gromozon jerks have gone a step further � making the program itself seem like it�s authored by someone else � a legitimate security researcher.

Of all things, the authors of this malware have inserted code in Gromozon which implicates Marco Giuliani of authoring it! Marco is a perfectly upstanding security researcher who, in fact, created a Gromozon removal tool for PrevX.

It�s absolutely incredible. Marco has the whole story here.
