"Meanwhile Eset is warning<http://www.eset.eu/press-computer-worldwide-targetted-by-MBR-Worm> of a new worm called Zimuse, which overwrites the master boot record on infected systems. BitDefender has also issued a warning about Zimuse, but claims that it destroys hard drives using malicious code. What is unanimously agreed is it does not do so immediately upon infecting a system but, depending on the variant, 20 or 40 days later by rendering the system unbootable. It is usually possible, however, to repair the system by using a repair CD to restore the MBR, allowing a normal Windows installation to once more boot. Zimuse is being spread via infected USB sticks and via the web as a downloadable IQ test. Eset believes that the malware was originally targeted at members of a Slovakian bikers' club. Most initial reports on the spread of the worm came from Slovakia, but this has now been overtaken by the USA, followed by Slovenia, Thailand, Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic. Eset has provided a tool for removing the malware, but this is only useful before the MBR has been overwritten." http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Scareware-becomes-ransomware-agai...
