The security firm Finjan says it has discovered a major new type of malware that has infected more than 10,000 Web sites in December alone. Deemed "random js toolkit," it is a Trojan that infects end users' PCs and sends data from the infected machine to the "master" hacker. It can be used to steal passwords, documents and other sensitive information.

The malware dynamically creates and changes JavaScript code every time it is accessed, Finjan said. Thus, traditional anti-malware programs can't identify it.

This is a classic example why Vista security with out of the box IE7 protected mode is important.

If people prefer to run FireFox or use a less secure operating system that doesnt support this, you should be running your browser in a sandboxed environment and certainly not with normal user rights.

Do you work for MS by any chance?

People who dont use IE7 on Vista can do the same through tools like sandboxie on FireFox. It isnt about who works where, its about practical solutions to our security and use of our computers.

Have you picked up on Caldor's fanboy-ish love for Vista??? I wasn't sure if it was just me. I have 2 PC's - one with XP Home, the other with 2000 Pro. Happy with both, except the hardware on the 2KPro is getting slow. I might build a little box for like $500 and get a new monitor.

On topic...this isn't cool...why do people really want everyone else's money? Can't you take that time you spent building the program on a real job???
