My view of the world

I was browsing thru eweek when I came across an article on a new trojan. This is the spam-thru trojan and it comes with a pirated copy of Kaspersky AntiVirus. Instead of shutting down the antivirus, it runs it’s version of Kaspersky, and scans for competitors, and by shutting them down there’s more bandwidth available for itself.
I like that, it’s sneaky, underhanded and devious, it’s everything one could hope for in a piece of malware.
This one spams for a bump and dump stock.

While there’s no way you or I can keep ahead of the bad guys, but if you don’t try, things like this will get you blackholed and you won’t be able to send email to anyone.
