Asprox Computer Virus on the Loose



It seems that a hacker attack that began in the UK is now taking on worldwide proportions. The Asprox virus was placed on more than one-thousand British websites. The virus sits, undetected, on these sites and installs itself on the computers of the users who visit them. Once this virus has landed on your computer, the hackers controlling it can access your personal and financial information. You're none the wiser – until money goes missing from your bank account.

Even though the attacks began in the UK, it's estimated that there have now been more than 2 million computers infected worldwide. In fact, US sites including those belonging to Sony’s Playstation, the city of San Francisco and Snapple have all been affected.

Are You Infected?
If you've visited a site that has been attacked by the Asprox virus, you may very well have an infected PC. Officials have estimated only half of today's anti-virus programs can detect the Asprox virus. If you're infected, your anti-virus program might be letting your passwords, account numbers and other personal information fly right out the window.

Fortunately, Norton and some of the other major antivirus programs researched by sites like Star Reviews are able to detect the virus. Those not running such programs are left at risk.
