The maker of this latest Flame PC virus have sent their latest malware self destruct code to remove it from some machines that has been infected.
Unfortunately, the suicide code for the flame malware is not available for download. It is not meant to be a solution for removing flame malware-infected files. The suicide code is actually created and reproduced by the creators of the Flame malware themselves. They only did the suicide code to delete all files or traces related to their created Flame malware.
But they only did it because they want to cover their tracks so investigators of their Flame malware are going to stop and are not going to have a chance to follow-up on their real identities.
The Flame malware developers want to keep themselves anonymous, that’s why they released the suicide code to remove any Flame malware evidence that can be traced back to them. A pretty good move if you ask me, but it is a little too late. It has been a long time since the Flame malware spread began and its copy is already being investigated by forensics. If you want to remove the said malware, you can do so by using a program released by Bitdefender called Bitdefender Removal Tool. Just download it, start the scan and it will be removed immediately, tagging it as “Trojan.Flamer.A/B”.
The links to download the programs are on the website https://labs.bitdefender.com/2012/05/cyber-espionage-reaches-new-levels-with-flamer/. Just choose between using the 32-bit or 64-bit version.
Hope this helps!
