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.”]
