comment what is the difference between boot-sector virus and rootkits?
I always read 'rootkit' as 'a kit, running as root, for hiding other code'.

comment How does duqu delete itself?
@Polynomial: I was just trying to give an example of a way you'd defer deletion to a separate process. As I said originally, 'I haven't looked at Duqu .. usual procedure is to..'.

comment How does duqu delete itself?
Under windows, you'd execute something like (depending on programming language!) `system("cmd /C del " + argv[0]). You'd need your program to exit before the delete actually happened, so you'd need to pause your batch script/whatever for a few seconds while that happened. A more robust way might be to add a Scheduled Task (windows) to delete the process in, say, a minute, and then exit.

comment Detecting malware hidden in P2P traffic
What protocol are you using for your peer-to-peer transfer? Is it inhouse or off-the-shelf? Also, have you considered a related case - a user simply shares malicious content with the filename of 'real' content?

I know some IRC servers do a similar check on connect, although I don't recall any off-hand.
