Default ATTENTION: those of you who saw the britney link

If you are curious what this britneyspearsstuff installs on a user, without actually executing it, read up.

it launches an iframe that executes a further webpage, that will attempt to install a fake codec (vaxsetup) from amediasoftware.com that turns a machine into their zombie.

The full tech scan on vaxsetup is here:
http://www.castlecops.com/postlite173608-.html

and is suspected to be a new variant of Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Zlob.Gen that has only been identified by Prevx1 (search for vaxsetup on http://virusinfo.prevx.com/pxresearchmalware.asp ). I’ve submitted samples to Symantec, McAfee, Kaspersky, and F-Secure.



IF you actually clicked on that britneyspearsstuff link,

and READ THIS
