JAVA_DLOADER.NTW

The JAVA_DLOADER.NTW infection is associated with a fake solution to the highly publicized Zero Day vulnerability in Java 7. Many computer users have decided to download updates to their computers due to the scandal surrounding this vulnerability in Java. However, criminals have taken advantage of this situation by releasing fake Java updates which actually attack their victims' computers. ESG security researchers have observed numerous variants of this scam in recent weeks, including JAVA_DLOADER.NTW, a malicious JAR file that downloads malicious executable, which then installs a backdoor on the victim's computer. JAVA_DLOADER.NTW will install a backdoor associated with the notorious Andromeda botnet, a network of infected computers which can be coordinated in order to carry out malware attacks and malicious tasks without their owners' knowledge.

JAVA_DLOADER.NTW is designed to install a backdoor infection on the victim's computer. This is a term commonly used to refer to an unauthorized opening in a computer's security protection. Using this backdoor, a criminal can gain access to the computer and insert or remove information without alerting the computer user or security software on the infected computer. The result of a JAVA_DLOADER.NTW attack can be the installation of malware on the victim's computer or theft of crucial data on the infected operating system. JAVA_DLOADER.NTW in particular allows criminals to install the Andromeda bot on the victim's computer. However, it is important to understand that JAVA_DLOADER.NTW itself does not carry out this attack but merely allows criminals to install this dangerous malware infection on the victim's computer. Conceivably, JAVA_DLOADER.NTW could be used to carry out any number of different attacks on the victim's computer, depending entirely on the intentions of the criminals behind the malware attack.

The Complicity Between JAVA_DLOADER.NTW and the Andromeda Bot

Once the Andromeda bot is installed through the use of JAVA_DLOADER.NTW, a criminal can control the infected computer from a remote location. Using this malware infection, criminals can spy on the infected computer and issue commands. In this way, thousands of infected computers can be used to distribute spam email, carry out DDoS attacks, and continue spreading JAVA_DLOADER.NTW infections to additional computers. In light of recent developments, ESG security analysts advise disabling Java on your computer unless it is essential.
