Trojan impersonates Adobe update, targets XP machines
Although some other PDF viewers are starting to become popular, most people
still have Adobe Reader installed on their systems. Malware creators are
taking advantage of this by putting out a nasty Trojan that masquerades as
an Adobe update, with icons and other information that are identical to a
real Adobe update. Those XP users who are tricked into installing it can
find themselves in a world of trouble, as it can be used to steal account
and password credentials or other information from the computer. It affects
XP and earlier versions of Windows such as 98, ME, NT and 2000. You can read
