Download Windows 7 security - A great leap forward or business as usual?

Beware! You’ve been served and owned

An interesting spam message came into our traps recently. The message talks about an imaginary person filing a complaint against your company with The Department of Justice.

As the message specifies, the details of the person filing the complaint is attached with the message (obviously!). Opening this attachment will nicely install Troj/Agent-GHR on your computer. This Trojan will end up owning your browser redirecting you to unsafe websites. So not only have you been served with a fraudulent complaint, your computer has also been owned!
