Myspace and Webshots users should be aware:
An online banner advertisement that ran on MySpace.com and other sites over the past week used a Windows security flaw to infect more than a million users with spyware when people merely browsed the sites with unpatched versions of Windows, …
Only a little more than half of the anti-virus programs used at anti-virus testing service AV-Test.org flagged the various programs that the Trojan tried to download as malicious or suspicious.
The ad was also spotted on Webshots.com, a popular photo-sharing site. So, if you visited either of these sites recently and your computer is acting up … this might just be the culprit.
If you are using Internet Explorer and had the latest updates installed, your computer would not be vulnerable to this Trojan. So, make sure you have the latest patches installed. Or, switch to Firefox!
