MySpace Phishing Attack Leads Users to Zango Adware

An anonymous reader writes "Security site Spywareguide.com reports that a new worm is doing the rounds on MySpace. Taking advantage of the HREF feature in Quicktime movies, a fake login bar is displayed on infected users profiles via some JavaScript coding. If you login (via one of the many hacked servers hosting the JavaScript and movie file) you'll find you start spamming messages containing a pornographic movie. That movie leads to a site that's pushing Zango Adware left, right and center. Is this more evidence that Zango has yet to clean up their affiliate networks?"

  1. How do you get rid of Zango? by slim-t · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I switched to FireFox, but it would be nice to be able to use Internet Explorer without Zango. I've tried several times to get rid of it with Ad-Aware. Anybody know how an easy way to get rid of it?
