The mass-mailing worms W32.Ackantta.B@mm and W32.Ackantta.C@mm are known to download variants of this threat family on to compromised computers. Increased levels of infection of these worms has been seen to result in an increase in the number of Trojan Vundo infections.<\/p>\n<p>Trojan Vundo was designed as a means for displaying advertisements on the compromised computer. The Trojan includes functionality to display pop-ups and is additionally capable of injecting advertisements into search results.<br \/>\nThe advertisements and pop-ups that are displayed include those for fraudulent or misleading applications; intrusive pop-ups, fake scan results, and so-called alerts that masquerade as being from legitimate security software appear on the desktops of compromised computers in an attempt to frighten users into clicking buttons for &#8216;further information&#8217;.
