Beware an Orkut Trojan
Google's social-networking website Orkut has been used to spread a malicious Trojan, says Websense. According to an alert from the security firm, the hoax message, which has been received by a number of Orkut users and is written in Portuguese, looks like it comes from a lonely Orkut member looking for love and features a number of links which appear to link back to the social-networking site. However, Websense urges Orkut users not to click the links as they result in the Trojan 'imagem.exe' being downloaded. This subsequently opens the Orkut login page while a password-stealing Trojan called 'msn.exe' is downloaded in the background. Source : http://www.pcworld.com/

Re: Beware an Orkut Trojan
almost all of us runs Security Softwares
the person who dont run will surely hit by this or some other virus/worm - so it is his personal mistake

Re: Beware an Orkut Trojan
not necessarily, there might be some who dont use orkut, even they wont be affected.
Many security softwares fail sometimes.. though not every time and the malware affect the PC.

Re: Beware an Orkut Trojan
Don't rely too much on your antivirus/antispyware alone.

Re: Beware an Orkut Trojan
^^ True, true, sometimes a little more common sense can achieve more than the most professional security software.
