McAfee warns of bogus VirusScan trail version
by SpywareBlocker on 02/08/10 at 11:46 pm
A new variant of the Bredolab Trojan is spreading via email with the following characteristics:
Subject: “McAfee VirusScan Plus”
Message body: “Download a FREE 30-day Trial of MCAfee VirusScan Plus and Be Automaticaly Entered to Win.
Installation file attached”
McAfee has been quick to point out that they never send setup files for their products as email attachments, and that you should also be suspicious of opening any attachments when they have arrived unsolicited or from an untrusted source.
Those with a keen eye would’ve also noticed the mis-spellings in the email, “MCAfee” and “Automaticaly”.
If you want a legit trail version of McAfee VirusScan, you can grab it here.
