Extracting the fare

Dermot7 · Feb 14, 2012

When malware is found lurking on a system, quite often it isn't acting alone. Once malware distributors have control of a system, they will do everything they can to compromise the machine and the user for maximum gain -- for instance, hijacking a browser's search results, or using rogue security software to extract payments from affected users -- and will try to install whatever other malware components they need to in order to make this happen.

Such is the case with Win32/Fareit, which is one of two new additions to the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) for February 2012. Win32/Fareit is a family consisting of a password stealer and a component for performing Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and is often present on an affected system along with a suite of other malware.
