The botnet's owners use public peer-to-peer filesharing networks to transmit information to the system, and all such transmissions are encrypted with a custom algorithm. The really insidious bit is what the TDL-4 code (it calls itself "Top Bot") does once it gets into your computer. Instead of installing itself to C: like any respectable program, the code takes root in the computer's boot record. That screen that shows up before Windows actually loads? In essence, that's where Top Bot lives. This makes it nearly undetectable by the vast majority of antivirus software, and since it activates prior to Windows even coming online, Microsoft's flagship operating system has no power over it. This also means that formatting your computer, a process that restores every Windows component to its most basic state, has no effect on Top Bot. This also means that formatting your computer, a process that restores every Windows component to its most basic state, has no effect on Top Bot.
