July 4th spam campaign
Fri 03 Jul 2009 08:02:14 AM UTC — Deborah S.
ESET security researchers are warning people of a massive spam campaign related to fireworks and Independence Day that will be used this holiday weekend to trick people into visiting malicious websites.
The Waledac botnet, estimated at tens of thousands of infected computers, are expected to send out links to videos of Independence Day fireworks which hide new copies of Waledac malware. ESET says that many antivirus programs do not detect this type of viruses, so, as always, do not open any links in unsolicited email. Read the report.

I use Comodo and that seems
Sat 04 Jul 2009 08:49:00 PM UTC — KovichI use Comodo and that seems to do a great job. I used to use McAfee. Either way, you should never open links in e-mail. It's too dangerous. It's sad that people are using the 4th of a July as a cover for infecting computers. http://www.puretalkforum.com
