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
