Latest Virus Threats Announced Online By Free Trial Spyware

Jay Stamford of Spyware Free Trial has announced that Win32/Oficla.GN trojan is one of a number of recent virus threats. When the infected e-mail attachment is executed, it copies to a Windows system folder and modifies the registry to load automatically on next startup.

It also downloads and installs several malicious files in the infected system. This is low to medium security threat. "Spywares and adwares are not only annoying but more often than not tend to damage your computer software and sometimes can even cause some damage to your hardware too. These annoying bugs have become a bane for internet browsers worldwide.

They have become a normal occurrence that we sometimes tend to ignore but God forbid we should never accept." Said Jay Stamford, site manager of Spyware Free Trial Spyware is computer software that spies on your internet usage. It collects highly personal and confidential information like credit card numbers, IPs and even addresses. The spyware program gets the credit card entries as the user logs them on a web form or an online application. Some spyware are even programmed to record your usage of the internet, what sites you visit, what files you download and how long you stay online.
