Beware: malware version of Microsoft Security Essentials in the wild (Download Squad)

Oct 27th 2010 6:26PM I got hit with this from the MSNBC site today also. It appears it used flash and a Java update to load (lesson learned - disallow any updates that appear when you are surfing no matter how trusted the site, unless you are on the site of the originator of the update, ie microsoft, adobe, ect.). I ran AVG antivirus (wasnt running at the time) and removed three viruses/trojans, reset IE to default, removed and reinstalled java, and ran AVG reigistry repair. Seems to be OK at the moment.
