Default malware threat

Got a new computer? Running WIndows 7, 8 0r 8.1? Really? Then you might want to be aware of this malicious program by an outfit called Conduit. MacAfee and others will usually spot it. But if not...

Usually installed with other seemingly harmless stuff such as media players. Look for a file called spsetup,exe. Some infected web servers will pop up a window saying "Your browser is out of date" but if you are running any sort of Windows 7, 7, 8.1 then your IE is NEVER out of date because Microsoft is always updating it for you, whether you like it or not. If you get such a pop up, abandon that server ASAP.
