Screensaver Dangers

Some people thought the Lycos screensaver that would attack spammers was a good idea. Well, maybe, but the flaws were many. Now the scum have started using a fake to spread trojans.

Virus writers have begun distributing their wares in emails that pose as Lycos's abandoned "Make love not spam" screensaver.

The fake screensaver emails contain an attachment with a RAR SFX archive that has embedded key logger Trojan inside, antivirus firm Sophos warns. Infected emails come in emails with subject lines such as "Be the first to fight spam with Lycos screen" and an attachment called "Lycos screensaver to fight spam.zip".

The best way to stop spam is just ignore it. If they weren't getting buyers they wouldn't be sending all this junk out - NEVER buy from junk e-mail.
