The Web page distributing an emulator promising users they could play Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox games on their PCs has been pulled offline after discovery that it contained a Trojan horse program designed to generate money based on online ad hits. Thousands of copies of the ersatz emulator may still be circulating on the Internet.
The emulator had been distributed from a free Web site account hosted by Angelfire, a company owned by Lycos Inc. The site has been removed from the Web by Angelfire for violating the company's terms of service, according to a notice posted on the site.
