Viruses Today

Viruses are going to be a very serious threat in the months and years to come. So far viruses have been benign in nature, however all of the signs are showing that the information security community thinks this will not be the case in the future. Some of the viruses “AKA ROOTKITS” that have the capability of serious destruction are ZEROACCESS, TDL3, and TDL4. These rootkits make and mount a virtual encrypted file system on the affected system. They do this to store the virus code; we already have seen a payload that hides files and folders I.e.: Desktop, Start menu, and my documents.
