[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1014290, member: 32260"] It is worth mentioning that info stealers are a rather general problem. Many samples are unique, (seen only on a single machine) so if they initially bypassed the AV and could elevate, then they can persist in the system for several days. For Home AVs, probably the best mitigation method is Network Protection or Firewall hardening. Although the particular sample can be unique to a single machine, most of the morphed samples of the particular malware usually connect to the same servers. So the AVs can blacklist the servers' IPs to mitigate the malware. [/QUOTE]
