Virus Bulletin Spam Filter Test

Virus Bulletin updated its spam filter test, and found that compared to last year, spam filters are doing worse. Sadly, the detailed results are only for paid subscribers. But Virus Bulletin published a brief summary of the latest result as a teaser [1]. 

I think this is not all bad news. To understand this, one has to consider that the overall volume of spam has dropped significantly. The take down of some large botnets removed a lot of easy to classify spam off the net, leaving a more diverse "spam zoo" that is not as easy to classify. So I don't think this trend is as "worrying" as Virus Bulletin makes it sound.

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
