CyberDefender identified a fake anti-virus Trojan downloader infecting pages that come up when searching for Halloween costumes. The infected PC becomes sluggish and slow-performing while exposing personal data. Criminals often create pages that are highly search engine optimized, with keywords reflecting currently popular search terms. Users should manually type the Web site URL, instead of just clicking on links displayed on the Google search results page, experts say. Users advised to verify they have a security software suite installed on the computer before going online.
