This guide provides a clear, practical overview of detecting new malicious code capable of 'evading' most, with useful context, important details, and straightforward takeaways for everyday readers.

HP analyst Patrick Schlapfer said the new malware successfully infiltrated many of the victim's workstations because the anti-virus system detected only 11% of the malicious code.

When a user opens an email containing malicious code in JavaScript, a VBScript file is written and downloaded to the malware, before deleting itself.

Experts have detected at least three different RATDispenser variants in the past three months with a total of 155 newly discovered malware samples. This suggests that the malware may still be in development.

The researchers suggest that the author of the RATDispenser malware may be operating in the form of a malware business.
