Different Countries, Different Scams
Different Countries, Different Scams.

Microsoft finds that the Trojans and viruses spreading around China and Brazil differ from those in the rest of the world.

Quote:
The top four of the most popular malicious programs, which closely follow the United States and European markets, are three fake security software programs and a downloader that installs fake security software. However, in China, four of the top five threats are password stealers for online games, and in Brazil, three of the top four threats are Trojans that steal the usernames and passwords for online bank accounts.

Dear Tom,
Real thanks for the post! Intrusion Attacks from China have become a daily feature for me! Though my dad does not share any confidential info' with me, i think the extra efforts being made on my PC, raises very serious questions indeed! Think i'll have to tell him, what's going on!
