Worms seek to spoof YAHOO, GOOGLE & MSN

There is a virus on the internet currently that creates a spoof site of Yahoo!, MSN, and Google whenever a search is conducted using any of those sites' search engines. The virus can be 'caught' but visiting sites that distribute pirated software and pornography a spokesman for Panda Software said Friday.

The worm creates identical results pages with bogus links that take visitors to sites that are assumed to be involved in the hoax.

I would recommend that anyone who may fear this worm to run antivirus software updates and then a search and remove tool immediately.
