The recent developments that hackers are adopting to target the systems are pretty interesting. The Batchwiper as detected by the Iranian CERT and the Trojan as reported with evade technology are the two recent developments. The Batch Wiper though can be contained with certain precautionary measures, but the Trojan with evade technology would certainly be something that would create a widespread Havoc.
With the evade technology the Anti-Virus Firms would need time and research to ensure that the right set of detection & quarantine techniques are used so as not to jeopardize the O/S routines that the Trojans use to evade the AV.
Specifically with the Trojan that is reported and that waits for the left Mouse Click routine to execute the commands is one tricky case. Certainly, we can’t stop using mouse with the fear of the Trojan getting executed…..
Time to look out and dig deeper around these aspects to ensure that the corporate as well as home users are impacted the least…..

I have an experts named Mayank around, so I don't have to fear a virus if any kind.
One phone call and u r at our rescue.
Jokes apart, but then there is a new virus coming every other day.And yes the AV will work out strategies to encounter.
