You can get Microsoft Updates from MySpace now? No, it’s another attack.
The ferocious hackers on the internet’s social networks are getting really good at their A game. They are now infiltrating users systems through MySpace by use of Microsoft Update popups. This is really ludicrous and very scary at the same time.
Recently malware distributors (hackers) are attacking MySpace in a way that MySpace users get a popup alert that looks like a Microsoft Update. Common MySpace users may click on this so-called Microsoft Update popup and it will trigger a download of a terrible package with all types of infected files including Trojans, malware, remote access tools, and downloaders. The initial attack comes in the form of a simple MySpace friend request. If this friend request is accepted it will bombard you with popups asking you to perform a Microsoft Update.
