Trojan piggybacks on Firefox
ZDNet reports on a security advisory issued by McAfee yesterday. Apparently there is a new virus that installs itself as an extension in Firefox and watches your personal information as you enter it into forms. FormSpy Trojan attacks computers that have already been infected with the Downloader-AXM Trojan.
Don't open EXE files you get from random people in your email (duh). And, while McAfee deems this one as low risk, update your virus scanner's definitions. Even if you auto-update it is worth trying a manual pull of virus definitions just incase a new one is released in between.
