While visiting youtube, i noticed a popup screen asking me to download Adobe Flash Player 9. seems odd the way its forcing me to download.
i noticed in the address bar, that the address was perfectly sabotaged to trick the user. making youtube, google, microsoft and the rest of domains I noticed the infection upon as sub domains.
so the address would look something like:
http://www.microsoft.com.SOMETHING.SOMETHING_Else.hk
heh , they almost got me in that :P
and the other thing i noticed is the icon after the download finish look exact same of the icon of the program they asked you to install for example.. the redbox for flash player, the java icon for java updates.. and etc
below is a screen shot of the threat so you can notice it and avoid it.
