Gromozon blowback

Gromozon is a vicious piece of malware which installs on a user's PC
and does almost every craft trick available to avoid detection and
removal, including creating its own user account, using rootkit
technology, renaming its files, and a whole host of other nasty
things.  And it's certainly popping up on the radar out there in the
security community.

But now these Gromozon jerks have gone a step further — making the
program itself seem like it's authored by someone else — a legitimate
security researcher.

Of all things, the authors of this malware have inserted code in
Gromozon which implicates Marco Giuliani of authoring it!  Marco is a
perfectly upstanding security researcher who, in fact, created a
Gromozon removal tool for PrevX.
