With each new holiday comes new malware - Easter

With Easter approaching it should be no surprise that malware with an Easter theme is going around the web. McAfee has reported a wave of emails this morning which pretend to be Easter cards containing an animated greeting.

The download is instead a Trojan which contains key-logging software and backdoor access to return data and allow additional malware to be deployed.

So keep vigilant, and browse the web safely.
