The Chinese have created a virus that blocks the connection of client PCs with antivirus cloud


A new Trojan, created by Chinese hackers, aimed at blocking cloud of anti-virus services. Trojan, named Bohu, distributed fairly simple way - as a free player. Detected a trojan specialists Microsoft Malware Protection Center. In principle, similarly distributed and Trojans - some as defragmenter, others - as an anti-virus, and others - registry cleaner. In general, the way to spread a Trojan rather ordinary, unusual only problem anti-virus - it will block the communication standard PC with an antivirus cloud system.

At the moment, the virus "works" only with the Chinese Cloud solutions, but to think that this is only the first bird, and soon the new version could threaten products such as system KSN from Kaspersky Lab. Such a system interacts with the data is sent to users that can successfully deal with new dangers. Another fairly well-known product - the software from Panda Security, blocking the dangerous sites reported by users.

New technologies used by antivirus companies, forced the hackers time to move on to the old ways of spreading viruses (remember all the same Stuxnet, which is still a mystery to many experts on computer security, but which spreads mostly through the USB- flash). Rabotyut hackers and on new ways to spread their viruses, or on new methods of combating its software with cloud antivirus.

Bohu (or TrojanDropper: Win32/Bohu.A) simply does not give the user's computer to send information to the cloud, and does it quietly. It is worth noting that the virus not only blocks access to the site support provider antivirus and locks the system online notifications.
