MS Security Essentials ALERT!

Beitrag von gnach »

07/10/2012- MS Security Essential identified the download as containing Open Candy, a low risk bit of malware for unsolicited adverts. Deleted. Seems to be a trend, another post describes Symantec finding "a Trojan known as Cloud2".

And it sounds like the answer to Tbird users with droids, dang!
