    Do not download any gadgets from www.thoosje.com-somoto virus


    As per the title, please take care if you feel the need to download any Win7 gadgets from "http://www.thoosje.com". I checked about a dozen totally random gadget files and every one came back as positive for Malware-Somoto which, having read up on this forum, is a nasty pup infection.

    A point worth baring in mind is none of these files gave a warning when scanned with Malwarebytes, it was only when I scanned them with SUPERantispyware that the alarm was raised.

    This site was discussed in a previous thread - very dangerous!

    I think the reason Malwarebytes does not think it is bad is that you can click "custom" and not download their toolbar or have it change your search or home page.
