'Rombertik' malware kills host computers if you attempt a cure

Sneaky Buggers!

"...has 8000 functions that do nothing but bamboozle...

...writing a byte of junk data to memory a whopping 960 million times....

...keeps firing by calling a Windows API debug string 335,000 times to fend off debugging...

...code is monstrous and has dozens of functions overlapping with each other and unnecessary jumps added to increase complexity. The result is a nightmare of a control flow graph with hundreds of nodes..."

Absolutely fiendish! —the authors have even emulated the Microsoft in-house coding style, to help their malware blend in unseen.
