Feds to remotely uninstall Coreflood bot from some PCs

Federal authorities will remotely uninstall the Coreflood botnet Trojan from some infected Windows PCs over the next four weeks. The plan is the latest step in a coordinated campaign to cripple the botnet, which controls more than 2 million compromised computers. The owners of infected computers must submit an authorization form to the FBI. The U.S. District Court Judge Vanessa Bryant granted the DOJ’s request for a preliminary injunction Monday. The DOJ and FBI did not say how many machines it has identified as candidates for its uninstall strategy.”]
