New Malware Spoofs Microsoft Security Essentials Webpage
Beware of a new malware scam that looks incredibly similar to Microsoft Security. The Rogue:MSIL/Zeven malware automatically detects your browser and issues a fake warning page. The new twist here is the use of the user’s trust in their browser integrity.
