Abstract

TDL3, so named by the malware authors themselves, adopts some characteristics of

Mebroot malware family in terms of disk infection and surviving reboot operations. Although it does not rank as the most complicated malware seen, TDL3’s distinctive features – stealthy infection mechanisms and tricky removal - should not be overlooked. Moreover, TDL3 is just a framework for further system compromise. In few simple words, TDL3 is a "Means to an End”.
