This is exactly why trustworthy reporting outlets try to verify sources before reporting as fact. However, this becomes difficult in this time of now, faster, beat the other guy, instant publishing.
Funny, but just a few weeks ago I had to remove one of these things from a friend's computer. His verical software provider had run Malwarebytes without success. I tried a couple things, but was only sucessful after booting with Linux and running clamAV, then booting in safe mode and running comboFix, then Spybot. Finally, it was gone. I confirmed with Malwarebytes and another run of Spybot.
Total time 6 hours.
For anyone with morbid curiosity:

Today's Sun/Oracle Announcement
This is one of the toughest emails I've ever had to write.
It's also one of the most hopeful about Sun's future in the industry.

Thank you for everything you've done over the years, and for everything you will do in the future to carry the business forward. I'm incredibly proud of this company and what we've accomplished together.
Details will be forthcoming as we work together on the integration planning process.

P.S. I will be leaving for the Bahamas with my millions. Keep up the good fight!
