| Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 916 posts | Rootkit Banker - now also to 64-bit Quote: Yesterday Kaspersky Lab detected the first rootkit banker created to infect 64-bit systems. It was detected in a drive-by-download attack made by Brazilian cybercriminals. We found a malicious Java applet inserted in a popular Brazilian website. The attack was made using a malicious applet in such a way as to infect users running old versions of the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) and was prepared to infect users running versions of both 32 and 64 bits systems. |

If you have Java installed (which I don't) then be sure you have the lasted update. I read an article a few months ago that Java was the most attacked software so I removed it from my sysem and so far I have only run into one site that needed Java and it was no big deal. I use Secunia PSI to monitor for needed security updates. Jim  |
