Camy Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Fake media file snares PC usersAlmost 500,000 people have been caught out by a booby-trapped media file, says security firm McAfee. The fake file poses as a music track, short video or movie and has been widely seeded on file-sharing networks to snare victims. McAfee said the fake media file outbreak was the largest it had seen for about three years. Those running the fake file get bombarded with pop-up ads and risk compromising the safety of their PC. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7389529.stm Link to comment
