Read moreInternet security specialist BitDefender has warned about the dangers of a new spying Trojan it describes as "a serious enemy" that can be used as a corporate spying tool.
In a statement, BitDefender says that Trojan.Spy.YEK sniffs for critical data and archives that may hold private information and sends them back to the attacker.
"With an encrypted dll in its overlay, this Trojan is easily saved in windows\system32\netconf32.dll and once injected in explorer.exe nothing can stop it from connecting (whenever necessary) to a couple of meeting spots with the attacker," the researchers said.

Also worth noting:
In October, BitDefender released a free removal tool for users infected with Win32.Worm.Stuxnet. The Stuxnet Removal Tool, available as a free download from MalwareCity, removes all known Stuxnet variants from a user's computer, as well as the rootkit drivers used to conceal them.
