http://secunia.com/advisories/38894/
DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Energizer DUO Charger Software,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.
The security issue is caused due to a backdoor (Arucer.dll) placed in
the Windows system32 directory by the installer software. This can be
exploited to e.g. send and receive files or execute arbitrary code on
an affected machine via commands sent to port 7777/TCP.
NOTE: The backdoor is configured to start automatically on system
start.
SOLUTION:
Uninstall the software and remove "Arucer.dll" from the Windows
system32 directory.
