The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team has warned that the Energizer bunny can be dangerous to your PC.

While the drum banging rabbit might appear soft and fluffy it could be handing over control of your PC to hackers The software that accompanies the Energizer DUO USB battery charger contains a Trojan horse that gives hackers total access to a Windows PC, CERT warns.

Energizer, which makes the recharger says that the Energizer DUO, a USB-powered nickel-metal hydride battery recharger, has been discontinued. It is refusing to say how the malicious code made its way in the software in fact it claims it does not know.

Energizer's DUO was sold in the U.S., Latin America, Europe and Asia starting in 2007. The Windows software included with the charger is designed to show battery-charging status. When the software is installed, it creates the file "Arucer.dll," which is actually a Trojan that listens for commands on TCP port 7777.

The Trojan can download and execute files, transmit files stolen from the PC, and allow the Windows registry to be re-written. You should  Arucer.dll from Windows' "system32" directory, then reboot the machine otherwise the trojan will just go on and on and on.
