New malware masquerades as Microsoft update | |
|

| Time: 15:47 EST/20:47 GMT | News Source: GCN - Government Computer News | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

A Trojan horse program that appears to be a Microsoft Corp. security update can download malicious code from a remote Web site and install a back door on the compromised computer, leaving it vulnerable to remote control. IDefense Inc., a Reston, Va., computer security company, said the malicious code is the latest example of so-called social engineering to fool Windows users. It is similar to the W32Swen worm, which last year passed itself off as a Microsoft patch. | ||
