Obama Malware

Just a warning to be on the lookout for Senator President Obama themed malware that’s now racing across the net. Last thing you want to be doing is removing trojans during Inauguration Day.

One piece of spam alleges to contain a link to video of Obama’s acceptance speech. If you follow the video link within the e-mail message you will be taken to a Web page where you’ll be asked to update your Adobe Flash Player with a file, adobe_flash9.exe, first. This is not an official Adobe update file and downloading this file may in turn infect your computer with a Trojan.

Remember to say no to any email that asks to install something to view a video.
