The spread of P2P-Worm.Win32.Palevo.ddm in the public network through various peer-to-peer, also infected through storage media, making it easier for distribution.
While Trojan.Win32.Swizzor.a utilize some interesting and sophisticated tricks to hide the code, and disguise the presence in the system.
