Hi Folks,
Has anyone heard anything (fellow Avg'ers or you fine folks at AVG) of this new Bootkit titled "Nemesis" by Mandiant Consulting and "is able to infect a Windows computer before the operating system is loaded" ??!!
This info came to me through Dennis Faas InfoPackets Newsletter. https://www.infopackets.com/news/9737/new-bootkit-malware-sidesteps-security-software

Hi Balasubramanian,
I figured AVG was on it, but couldn't help asking <G>…
BTW, Mandiant Consulting did say that these attacks were directed overwhelmingly to banking sites presently. Big suprise… NOT!
