Trojan pretends to do good | Tech News on ZDNet:
"Security company Symantec is warning Internet users of a Trojan horse that removes adware but alters the settings in computers.

While Downloader.Lunii eliminates a variety of adware programs--often known as spyware--the Trojan also tries to maliciously change the security settings of Windows PCs and then downloads files from unknown Web sites, Symantec said.

'It's common that a Trojan will try to change as much security as possible,' said Nigel Beighton, Symantec's director of enterprise strategy. 'They often try to change Microsoft, Symantec and McAfee software.'

Symantec classified Lunii as a low-risk Trojan."
