Some of the things this month's issue has in store are:

• Home (page) renovations: 'We often hear from VB conference delegates that the networking opportunities at the conference are as valuable to them as the presentations themselves.' Helen Martin, Virus Bulletin

• Pandex: the botnet that could: Pandex has attracted very little attention from the media and generated little discussion between malware researchers and among the general populace. Chandra Prakash and Adam Thomas provide an overview of the Pandex operation and take an in-depth look at the underlying code that has allowed this malware to evade detection for so long.

• Exepacker blacklisting part 3: In the final part of the series on exepacker blacklisting, Robert Neumann takes a look at how all the processing and analysis techniques are put into practice in a real-life situation.

• Black Hat DC and CCC 24C3: Morton Swimmer reports on two security conferences of the more hands-on nature: the 24th Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, Germany, and Black Hat DC in Washington, DC, USA.

• AVG Internet Security 8: John Hawes gets his hands on a preview version of the latest offering from AVG - AVG Internet Security 8.
