I’ve seen this posted before, this is the first time I’ve actually read the whole thing. I knew what it was, and what it did, but I never knew about the “uninstaller” part of it.
The fact that they doubled down and made an uninstaller for it that didn’t actually uninstall it and ADDED ANOTHER root kit + a backdoor to the system, blows my mind.
