autocad adware trojan

[PlannerRoad]

a trojan has been identified which, unlike all other types, exploits the objectarx, executable only with autocad.
the Trojan does not infect autocad, but uses it only as an infection vehicle.
He's the first of his kind.
at the moment it is limited, given its mechanism, but to the only machines with base in wool.
exploits versions from autocad 2000 to 2009 (2010 is not mentioned).

I'm sorry they invented such a virus; even if there was to be expected sooner or later. did they also produce the cure? What do you have to do to immunize yourself, besides not downloading from Chinese sites?

Unfortunately this malware is still not well identified by antivirus.
can be done prevention work remaining up-to-date with windows patches and antivirus definitions (waiting the definition for that). second, check the files lisp of autocad startups.
