Be on your guard folks if like me you trawl odd sites looking for nick-nacks and goodies
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7183008.stmSecurity experts are warning about a stealthy Windows virus that steals login details for online bank accounts.
In the last month, the malicious program has racked up about 5,000 victims - most of whom are in Europe.
Many are falling victim via booby-trapped websites that use vulnerabilities in Microsoft's browser to install the attack code.
Experts say the virus is dangerous because it buries itself deep inside Windows to avoid detection.
Once installed the virus, dubbed Mebroot by Symantec, usually downloads other malicious programs, such as keyloggers, to do the work of stealing confidential information.
Most of these associated programs lie in wait on a machine until its owner logs in to the online banking systems of one of more than 900 financial institutions.
Luckily the report mentions a solution you can use to detect and remove these theivery tools.
