Fake Windows security patches and rogue iPod invoices have been making the rounds this week as spammers continue trying to fool people into installing Trojans on their PC.
Exploit code was published on Friday for a Windows flaw similar to the vulnerability that led to the Zotob worm that wreaked havoc in August.
The plug-and-play vulnerability that caused havoc for Windows 2000 users last week also holds a serious risk for some Windows XP users, Microsoft said on Tuesday.
Havoc caused by variants of the Zotob worm could have been far worse had they not contained 'flaws', security companies said.
Variants of the Zotob worm caused damage to Visa and American Express' internal networks yesterday, but both companies said their transactional systems were unaffected. However, carmaker Holden had to pay a bigger price.
