Watch for Google Adsense Trojan

[talkgold]

If you are running Google Adsense ads on your site and notice a sharp decline in revenue, then do a virus scan or search for the file below:

A new Trojan that hijacks Google text ads and replaces them with ads from a different provider has been picked up by BitDefender.

The antivirus company has identified the threat as Trojan.Qhost.WU which modifies the infected computer's host file, a local storage for domain name/IP address mappings.

The infected machine's browser then reads advertisements from a server at the replacement address rather than from Google.

There`s always some dishonest scumbags aren`t there who seek to profit from the work put in by others?

I think the virus on other peoples machines is a greater threat to your revenue, unless you're into click fraud....
