[QUOTE="kuttus, post: 156504, member: 2676"] This particular infection has come from some insecure website. When you visit an unsafe website, a message pops up and tells you to first download a newer version of Flash player to play the video or to view this website. You might get inclined to click on the pop up for the reason that it's telling you to install a newer version of flash player, Please do not do this. It's a virus. Sometimes it may be in the form of “install drivers (or) plug-in's (or) active X controls etc”. If we click on these pop ups (knowingly or unknowingly), it will automatically install a malicious spy ware on your computer. These pop-ups may contain multiple options like Save, Run, Cancel, Yes, No etc. If we click on any of these options it will automatically install this spy ware. The best solution to avoid this spy ware is to close the browser window like internet explorer, fire fox etc. We should be aware of this situation and never download an Adobe Flash Player through any source other than the Adobe.com website. If you are ever uncertain of a Flash Player Update it may be best to cancel the operation and navigate to [url]http://www.adobe.com[/url] and download the update. [/QUOTE]
