“FormSpy” Trojan Horse

McAfee has detected a Trojan called “FormSpy”. This trojan arrives to your computer as a attachment on spam emails and it looks absolutely innocuous. But once it infects your computer. It cloaks itself as a firefox extension and silently download other Spywares and Adware.

“FormSpy” appears as NumberedLinks 0.9 extension and this extension normally allows users to navigate using keys rather than mouse. “FormSpy” will also transmit your critical informations such as passwords and Credit card numbers

Unforunately my own computer was infected by this trojan, So I was forced to switch over to Linux.
