Hottest July Virii
Kordel
For all my readers who care (that should be everyone) about Computer Security, the Jury is In on July’s most active Virii, Spyware and Malware infections. Following is a list of the top 5, with brief descriptions. My #1 Recommendation?? When there’s Sharks in the water, Surf Scared!!!
1. Trojan-Downloader.JS.Pegel.bp
Secretly downloads malicious script from a remote server, installs and redirects users to further malicious websites.
2. Exploit.Java.CVE-2010-0886.a
Allows attackers to download and execute arbitrary Java on vulnerable systems by luring victims to malicious sites.
3. Trojan-Downloader.VBS.Agent.zs
Downloads and installs new versions of malicious programs, including Trojans and AdWare, on victim PCs.
4. AdWare.Win32.FunWeb.q
Displays unsolicited pop-up ads which do not appear to be relevant or associated with the user’s browser sessions.
