The software that comes with the Energizer DUO USB battery charger
contains a Trojan that gives crackers total access to a Windows PC.
All it had to do was put Arucer.dll in the \system32 directory
and Bingo! your Windoze system is wide open to be exploited by anybody.

Isn't it time to shed yourself of this bad joke of an operating system family?
