Viruses, Malware Creeping into Online Games
Viruses and malware are words not normally linked to video games, that is until you talk to Michael Helander, VP of Sales and Marketing at Lavasoft. His software company has developed a new product, Ad-Aware Game Edition, that's designed to protect online gamers from viruses, a problem that's "increased over 600% in the last year," according to their website.
In this exclusive interview, Helander and Malware Labs' Andrew Browne explained which games are most vulnerable to malware attacks, why viruses in online games is a much bigger problem today, and why consoles like the Xbox 360 and PS3 could be next in the crosshairs of people who create Trojans, worms and other forms of malware.
