In

addition to blocking access to any website of antivirus vendors, as well as

third-parties offering online scanning services or removal tools, the malicious

binary has been updated to refuse users access to http://bdtools.net,

BitDefender’s online repository for distributing disinfection and removal

tools.

The

updated disinfection tools are now available online at www.disinfecttools.com, a domain that

is not currently blacklisted on the compromised machines.

All

the BitDefender 2009 products detect the worm as Win32.Worm.Downadup.Gen and stop its

execution before it is able to perform changes on the system. In order to stay

safe while surfing the Web, BitDefender recommends that you install a complete

and up-to-date anti-malware software solution.

BitDefender provides one of

the industry’s fastest and most effective lines of internationally certified
