Filthy Penetration
Trojan directs computers to porn sites and drugs stores.
This new threat is not only pesky, but sleazy as well. It takes over your browser and redirects it to pornography and also salacious websites or drug stores. Security experts at MicroWorld Technologies caution computer users against probably infection of a Trojan named ‘Win32.StartPage.jo’ while visiting dubious websites or downloading freebies from untrustworthy sources on the net.
Win32.StartPage.jo changes Internet settings on the affected computer. The default home page in Internet Explorer changed to www.find-online.net. It also adds a range of porn sites and bogus drug sites in the Favorites folder and makes changes in the Windows registry to activate the Trojan at the system start-up. Source www.mwti.net
