Panda antivirus labels itself as malware, then borks EVERYTHING –
Users are strongly advised not to restart their computer until a fix is available.
( It can happen at any company  :'(  )

Hi abruptum,

Probably because they apparently only have two bad URLs in Croatia.  :o
AS Name: SBIS-AS AS for SBIS-AS
IPs allocated: 3895808
Blacklisted URLs: 2
and a lot of live and up malware  ;D: http://support.clean-mx.de/clean-mx/viruses?as=AS7132
Example: http://urlquery.net/report.php?id=1425644727571

The majority of criminal botnet servers are being hosted in the USA (over 35%) with Taiwan as a good second (almost 15%). See this Trendmicro trendlabs report on C&C servers: http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/investigating-and-detecting-command-and-control-servers/
Cryptolocker is by far the favorite Cybercrime malware from CRILOCK servers to-day.
