Post by: Rik on May 06, 2007, 12:42:36

Symantec is warning users of the new trojan horse that phished Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage.


Users should KNOW that activating a copy of Windows is free (online activation or using some toll-free numbers).

If ever you see got that Windows asking for credit card information to activate the copy of Windows, DO NOT enter your credit card details. Run a scan using antivirus or antimalware program. You're maybe infected with Trojan.Kardphisher!
