Original release date: December 14, 2009 at 9:04 am Last revised: December 14, 2009 at 9:04 am


The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released a warning to alert users about an ongoing threat involving pop-up security messages that appear on the Internet. These pop-up messages may contain seemingly legitimate antivirus software. Users who click on these pop-up messages to purchase and install the bogus software may become infected with malicious code or to become victims of a phishing attack.

US-CERT encourages users and administrators to do the following to help mitigate the risks:
* Review the FBI Press Release titled Pop-Up Security Warnings Pose
Threats.
* Install antivirus software, and keep the signature files up to
date.
* Use caution when entering personal and financial information
online.
* Install software applications from only trusted sources. Here is the rest of the story click here
