VERY IMPORTANT

Gamarue, mostly detected by ESET as Win32/TrojanDownloader.Wauchos, has been around since at least September 2011 and was, for the most part, sold as a crimekit on underground forums. This crimekit proved very popular amongst cybercriminals and, that being the case, there are multiple, independent Wauchos botnets. In the past, Wauchos has been the most detected malware family amongst ESET users, so when approached by Microsoft to take part in a joint disruption effort against it, to better protect our users and the general public at large, it was a no-brainer to agree.
