'Indestructible' rootkit rumours are greatly exaggerated! Stand down from high alert!

Description : LulzSec has sailed away - if not off the edge of the world, at least into a part of space and time from which it can no longer trigger scared, and scary, headlines.

And if you have a decent and up-to-date anti-virus, you probably won't be able to run a TDL installer at all. Your anti-virus will probably block it.

hum.... ça me laisse songeur. ;O)

Even if you're unlucky enough to get infected, cleaning up isn't too arduous. Many anti-virus programs - including from Sophos and from various of our competitors - can sort out a TDL infection for you.

jamais vu ça...
