Woodsman Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Just heard on the CBC news at noon that there is a new virus that has the capability to steal all your passwords. Affects Microsoft IE and Netscape. Microsoft is working on an emergency patch but in the meantime it is recommended that you use other browsers such as Firefox. This virus can bypass protection from your anti-virus/firewall software. As you move from site to site it records your passwords. Thought to be used for creating bootleg games but can also capture your banking info (ect.) if done online. Be Careful: Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hmm, I think you left out the important part of where you get suckkered in by pop-ups and when you click on them, you are redirected to other sites that will then harvest your info.
