   A lot of vendors use the same or similar names for detected malware. When a new piece of malware is discovered, who names it?

   Microsoft has partnered with numerous anti-virus vendors.
   They certainly have some naming standard in order to streamline naming these threats as they arise.
   
   Post back if you require additional information.
