It is thought to be 20 times more powerful than Stuxnet, the worm that disabled Iranian nuclear facilities in Discovered by the Moscow-based anti-virus firm Kaspersky Lab, Flame has the ability to collect data, take screen shots, copy instant messaging chats, initiate Bluetooth connections with other devices and activate computer microphones to record conversations, among other things.

Most of the compromised computers were found in Iran, although there were also infections in Israel and the Palestinian territories, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. One of the reasons the Flame attack stayed undetected so long is that it infected only about 5, machines in a two-year span, which suggests a targeted, long-term surveillance scheme. Bourne says due to the relatively small distribution of the virus, the likelihood that Flame would be found and submitted to anti-virus software makers, so they could create a detection program, would be quite low.

While anti-virus software makers such as Kaspersky and Symantec create detection programs, Bourne says that most patches are based on "signatures," which are based on analyzing the behaviour patterns of existing bad code. My computer fans started spinning loudly, and my monitor went black. Upon restarting my computer two command prompts popped up. I have ran a full system scan with Norton and haven't found anything my program files seem fine as well as my appdata.

My guess is that the malware is disguised as a windows process. What can I do to get rid of it manually? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question 1.
