Top 5 malwares

Current HOT malwares:-

1. Virtumonde - This is well known mystery little sucker that gives users with Fake Alert and popups with rogue antispyware product advertisements like Winantispyware 2007, DriveCleaner etc.. informing users that their computer is not protected from bogus virus.

The big issue with this Virtumonde (aka; Vundo, FakeAlert, Conhooks) is very users have differnt sets of Virtumonde which means threats can change file names and it's content to avoid detection. I've heard Virtumonde can re-generates every hour into newer variants.

2. Adware.Agent variants - This is very similar to Virtumonde in behavior, this threat also causes popups informing users to buy some bogus programs to clean out computer problems.

3. Maxifies & PurityScan - Also causes popups, usually hijacks wedsite to some bogus sites like "Test your Internet Speed" or some "dating sites" - then when user clicks to continue to test speed of their Internet or to find cyber lovers - then user's computer will be hijacked and start downloading hips of malware on to their computers. I usually find them through many freebie sites such as downloading ringtone, screensavers, wallpapers, games and mp3s etc..

4. Trojan.Popuper - This threat disguise itself as video or audio codec, usually invites users to some porn or dating or free music/movie trailers sites then informing users that their Windows is missing some essential video codecs to display their videos, after user clicks to install codecs, their PC gets hijacked and displays hips of popups - some what similar to Virtumonde stuffs (and they usually are bundled with Adware.Agents as well).

[Myspace.com] had this ealier, which many hackers can setup bogus profile on myspace.com and invites users to be friend.

5. Free game trojan - This can be very risky as I have seen so many trojans that bundled with free games & screensaver, I had few MDT logs showing no sign of malware but had free Porn games or poker games. many users with repeat detection also suffers from their istalled programs that keeps re-inserting trojans on to user's computer after scan & fix. This sort of problem can't be fix completely without uninstalling risky games.
