ACAD/Medre.A Malware – An AutoCAD Based Virus that may be stealing your files and email contacts!

Dealing with computer viruses is a pain.  Windows users have been doing this for a while and recently many Mac computers were infected as well.  It seems that nobody is safe anymore, or at least everybody should be weary and prepared.  The same is true for AutoCAD users as recent headlines would show.  The malware “virus” known as ACAD/Medre.A has made an impact in the country of Peru in the past few months according to ESET’s Threat Blog.

ESET (an IT security company headquartered in Bratislava, Slovakia with branch offices in San Diego, U.S.A.; Wexford, Ireland; London, United Kingdom; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Prague, Czech Republic; Singapore and Kraków, Poland and was founded in 1992) shared the news on their Threat Blog and discussed the threat and what it was doing.
