VirusBurst is the next rogue antispyware program

The latest SmitFraud or trojan Zlob is called VirusBurst. A good write up on Bleeping Computer about it.

[quote]This latest incarnation currently uses the C:\Windows\System32\eowygj.dll file to infect you. Once loaded it will download VirusBurst and install the software without permission while displaying fake security alerts like the one shown below. VirusBurst’s security alert contains the text “System detected virus activities. They may cause critical system failure. Please, use antimalware software to clean and protect your system from parasite programs. Click this baloon to get all available software.â€
