Emergency Patch for Internet Explorer


    Microsoft has shipped an emergency Internet Explorer update to counter an escalating wave of malware attacks. The out-of-band update, which is rated critical, follows the public discovery of password-stealing Trojans exploiting the bug on Chinese-language Web sites. Over the past week, the attacks have expanded with hackers planting exploits on legitimate Web sites. Make sure your Internet Explorer is patched. Go to WindowsUpdate and install the ActiveX that Microsoft puts on your machine to check for vulnerabilities. Then follow instructions to update your Windows (free).

Google Sponsored Links Spreading Rogue Anti-Virus Software


    Malware hunters at Websense Security Labs have discovered legitimate Google sponsored links being used to plant scareware programs (rogue anti-virus applications) on the computers of Windows users. "In the Labs, we keep a close eye on millions of Web sites each week. Last week, our ThreatSeeker network became aware of a download site offering the compression utility Winrar-one of the most popular and best-known compression utilities - bound with malware. We thought that this scam could present a good case study to show how the reputations of legitimate and popular applications and online services are being abused to serve and help malware authors to spread malicious software."
