New MySpace, Skype virus threats spotted

User pages at the popular social networking site MySpace are being modified by versions of the Zlob Trojan, which is installing code that overlays its own window on top of the page, F-Secure Corp.’s chief researcher Mikko Hypponen wrote in the company’s security blog.

Zlob tries to download and run malicious software, or malware, from the internet, and looks to change Internet Explorer web browser settings, default search and home pages.

Be careful, myspace users, there is another trojan on the loose.
