‘Make Love, Not Spam’ virus

p2pnet.net News:- Virus writers are taking advantage of the Lycos Europe Make Love, Not Spam, anti-junk mail campaign.

A fake of the now famous Lycos screensaver wants to drop Perfect Keylogger components to infected hard drives, says F-Secure.

Perfect Keylogger is a spy tool that monitors keys a user presses and to saves the data to a file and, says F-Secure, it looks like this:

Subject: Be the first to fight spam with Lycos screen saver
Attachment: Lycos screensaver to fight spam.zip

But the file isn’t makelovenotspam. Rather, it’s an RAR SFX archive with the keylogger inside.

    The weekest part of any security is usually the user.

    If you can convince the user to do something incredibly stupid you can compromise any systems.
