Virus & Keyloggers may be with ur Scraps



The latest bad man tool on orkut. Most of the time, it is hyperlinked with the an image of a video player (refer screenshot above).

If you click on the image it redirects you to a site which tries to install something on your computer.

Norton AntiVirus detects it as a Keylogger and Mcafee as Malware. (Thanks Evil for bringing it to our attention)

» Solution:-
    * You must have a good anti virus installed.
    * Avoid clicking on links scrapped to you by unknown members.
    * Avoid navigating to the links scrapped from your friends – There may be a great possibility that your friend is actually not your friend and someone else.
    * You must avoid surfing unknown scrapbooks since these scraps execute an embed scrap all which sends the same scrap to your friends from your profile without letting you know anything.
    * Please refer to this post for the perfect safeguarding tool against this attack.
