We included three threat families in the April edition of the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool - Win32/Claretore, Win32/Bocinex and Win32/Gamarue. In this post, we discuss Win32/Claretore.
The earliest reported variant in this family can be traced back to November 2011. Claretore is a trojan that injects itself into running processes to intercept browser traffic and redirect the browser to an attacker-defined URL. It also sends information about the affected computer to a remote server.
