In June 2010 a security company VirusBlokAda detected this malware and gave it the name "Rootkit.Tmphider."<ref>http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/rootkit-tmphider.276994/#post-171213</ref> Symantec then named it "W32.Temphid," but later changed the title again to "W32.Stuxnet."  Unlike some other malware like [[Conficker]], Stuxnet did not give itself a name.  Instead, the name was derived from common references in the worm. The first part of the name, "stu," comes from the ".stub" file extension, and the second part, "xnet", comes from the "MrxNet.sys" file.<ref>http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2011/10/26/3348123.htm</ref>
