Security Firm Warns of Increase in Holiday Themed Malware Attacks

From maximumpc.com

"GFI Software, a security firm specializing in various software for small to medium-sized business, says to be on the lookout for Halloween-themed malware attacks.
The company's dedicated malware research center, GFI Labs, has been busy analyzing data from its ThreatNet monitoring system that retrieves real-time stats from tens of thousands of PCs running VIPRE antivirus software. What they found was an increase in the number of Trojans making the rounds in the days leading up to Halloween compared to last year."

  1. Tom,
    "hard drive Diagnostic" seems to be a virus or malware issue as of today 12/5. Ran a restart in safe mode to prior date and seems to have helped. Running full McAfee scan now. This nasty little window pop-up numbers seems to have slipped through the McAfee net.
    Thought I'd share. IF you have any new info, please advise. thanks. L. Reed Jericho
