New "Asprox" online virus detected
posted on 24th July 2008 by Jeanine
Around 2 Million computers worldwide have been infected with a virus (trojan) called Asprox. It allows web cheats to steal personal information while people are surfing the web. The bug invisibly redirects computers to a new website, allowing the thieves to download security information.
It is suspected that the Asprox virus affected more than a thousand British websites in the last two weeks, including those run by local councils and the NHS.
The attacks mostly occur on Microsoft Servers and unpatched Microsoft Internet Explorer Browsers. The option for you as a website visitor would be to use Firefox 3. We advise you to set your Anti Virus Software up-to-date and use a good firewall.
