Windows Malware Du Jour
September 4th, 2010 by ComputerBob
Windows users are used to having their systems’ swiss-cheese-like security constantly challenged and repeatedly defeated by a myriad of malware.
Much of it infects them silently and secretely.
But some of the most clever types of malware use social engineering methods to trick users into intentionally installing them.
The latest Windows scourge is clever enough to sense which browser is being used, and then look and act like the browser itself, to convince Windows users to download and install its malicious payload.
Had enough yet, Windows users?
