Worm poses as Google

What a target Google is. A new work is now posing as Google. When infected, users visiting Google are actually looking at a fake Google site.

From InfoWorld:

A new worm has been discovered that apes Google's search site and tunes the results to benefit hackers, not Web surfers.

The P2Load.A virus modifies the HOSTS file on a PC so that when users try to access Google, they are redirected to a page that looks exactly the same as Google, but is not controlled by the company. Instead, the exact copy of Google even supports the 17 languages that Google does and redirects typos such as www.googel.com or www.gogle.com, in such a fashion that users are not aware of the change, according to security firm PandaLabs.

Once users inadvertently download P2Load.A, the next time they go to Google, the spoofed page comes up. Some of the search results are selectively changed, and the fake ads are swapped in place of Google's AdWords.

Looking for rare runescape items like masks,hats and godsword or some pure account like melee,ranger,magician runescape accounts from somewhere? Well to own a wearable Runescape rare item is quite a privilege these days, and a privilege that I’d imagine 99% of Runescape players won’t ever get the chance to experience. dofus itemsThe sad reality is that the prices of Runescape rare items is quickly becoming out of reach for new playersdofus kamas. Why? Well at the rate of inflation of these items it is hard to see new player being able to develop their characters to the point where they are able to earn enough runescape gold to be able to pay for such items is probably getting out of reach.But now you won’t think it’s out of reach any more,because almost all or rare runescape items could be found in rsloads.com, that place always give us a big shot.For more tips and details,just log on its site,or go to google to search for it,you will see there is no place even could beat it.HOHO~~
If you’re saving up for a Runescape rare item then best of luck and I highly recommend you just redirect your attention to get a quick way from somewhere.

Levitra (VARDENAFIL) is one of the latest treatments for Erectile Dysfunction. Levitra acts in the same way as Viagra by blocking an enzyme called PDE-5. Clinical studies show that Levitra works faster and has less side effects than Viagra.
