Another Windows specific Trojan blights the rest of the world

One of the web sites offering information on this trojan ...

http://www.astonsoft.com/antitrojan/trojan%20horse%20virus.html

Confirms what this ZDnet-loves-Microsoft article deliberately doesn't mention - this is another Windows only trojan.

"Virus description: Delf is a backdoor trojan that gets unauthorized access to the infected computer. It will also stop the process of
some antivirus and firewall software. Delf works only on Windows NT, 2000, and XP systems. The Trojan copies itself as "%windir%\System32\Scanvegw.exe" or "%windir%\System\Kernel32.exe"

Face it. In order to even install Windows you must first accept the MS EULA. That EULA says basically that if a Windows-only trojan like Delf
infects your machine, and subsequently untold other mobile phone users, well, tough titty. Your fault, the software you are accepting doesn't even have to work, never mind be safe.

Microsoft - lowering quality to new levels.
