"The creator of this worm has taken advantage of the importance of a company appearing among the first few links in the search results of an Internet browser," said Luis Corrons, director of Panda Labs. "The motivation of the author of this malware is purely financial."
Security firm Panda Labs has detected a worm which attempts to spoof Google (Nasdaq: GOOG). P2Load.A spreads via P2P networks using the file-sharing programs Shareaza and Imesh...When P2Load.A is run, it displays an error message informing the user that a file does not exist and offers it for download. The download modifies the user's start page, showing advertising and spoofing the identity of Google. |
