Was not sure where I should post this,
I have not been Infected There's a new Trojan being spammed in email disguised as a Microsoft security update. The email has the subject line "Security Update for OS Microsoft Windows", and carries a malicious attachment touted as an "experimental private version of an update for all Microsoft Windows OS users". Instead of a security patch, those who open the attachment will infect their system with a variant of Haxdoor, a backdoor Trojan which uses rootkit technology to hide its presence. |
