Rogue MP3 Trojan streaks across P2P networks
Hundreds of thousands of examples of a new Trojan that poses as a media file have flooded onto P2P networks.
Since Friday 2 May more than half a million instances of the Trojan have been detected on consumer PCs, according to net security firm McAfee. The anti-virus firm reports the spread of the Downloader-UA.h Trojan as the most significant malware outbreak in the last three years.
The Trojan is being used to serve ads onto contaminated PCs as part of an apparent money-making scam.
