Thinking about downloading a pirated copy? Think again, as  it could contain malware. Cybercriminals are pushing "blackhat" search engine optimization tactics to target the most popular  file sharing and P2P networks, pursuing those interested in upcoming movie  releases and in particular taking advantage of the sizeable Harry Potter fan  base wanting to download the movie in advance of its screening.         Fans are baited with text like: 'Watch "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" online free'. What appears to be a legitimate looking website then redirects you to a video offer which prompts you to download and install the additional "streamviewer". The streamviewer, however, is installing malware. Suddenly, missing out on a sneak peek is the least of your worries!Source: An e-mail from PC Tools. Copyright © 2009 PC Tools.

Recently I saw some messages going around asking people to access a website to download a video of themselves. These are not phishing tricks. Don't worry, your identity will be safe. But if you downloaded something from those websites, they could contain malware. These malware could be a virus, trojan, trojan downloader. So if you have recently downloaded from a link given to you by a FaceBook friend, make sure you have an updated virus scanner and scan the computer before its too late. What surprises many of you is the fact that those messages have been sent by a well known friend. That's why they click it. Don't trust that. Because there are many ways to send messages from different IDs.</blockquote>
