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.
