Energizer Jolts PCs With Malware

Posted in: Technology News by admin on March 8, 2010


If you’re using Energizer’s Duo USB battery charger software to monitor your battery charging status, it’s probably a good idea to shut it down and uninstall it pronto. The software designed to work with the Duo contains a backdoor Trojan that lets unauthorized users access a PC remotely, among other things. The Duo was introduced in 2007; it charges nickel metal hydride batteries from both wall outlets and USB ports. The product also encourages users to download companion software that allows them to monitor the charging status of the batteries when the Duo is plugged into their PCs.
