McAfee's Avert Labs division is warning users about one of the first "Trojan horse" viruses to afflict Windows Mobile. Dubbed WinCE/Infojack, it allows silent installation of malware, and sends information about an infected device to the Trojan's author, according to the company.
In a posting on the Avert Labs blog, mobile antivirus researcher Jimmy Shah writes that WinCE/Infojack was created by a unnamed Chinese website. It was packed inside legitimate installation files and distributed with Google Maps, applications for stock trading, and the collection of games seen below, according to Shah.
