I just got an email from a friend with a link to a website. It turns out that he didn't send it to me but his computer did. We don't know anything more about this but it seems like a virus that sends emails to everyone in his address list with a link to this website: hxxp://msnbc.msn.com-report1.us/finance
The page reads like a news article, but has links that go to an ad for "Home Cash Profits." Very cleverly and deceptively done - seems both professional and totally legit, but it's fake...
I'm finding nothing on searches of the site or the parent site (com-report1.us) when I do searches, which just means it's new.
Any ideas or suggestions for finding out more? If this is so new that it hasn't been reported, does Symantec know about it? Is there a quick and easy way to find out if I've been infected if my Norton doesn't find anything?
Thanks,
Blaze
