Security vendor Symantec has warned Internet users of a Trojan horse pretending to be "Adware". to change the settings inside the computer.
With the name Downloader.Lunii This program actually removes a certain number of adware (or spyware) programs. At the same time, however, it also deliberately changed the security settings inside a Windows-based computer with a clean engine. A hacked computer will automatically download files from unsecured web sites where the user is completely unaware.
& quot; Usually a Trojan tries to change as many security settings as possible. & quot; - Nigel Beighton, director of corporate strategy at Symantec, said, "They are aimed at Microsoft, Symantec, and McAfee."
Trojans are often referred to as spy software because of their ability to run sneaky within the background of a computer without being detected. Recently, Spamhaus anti-spam organization has warned that spy software has taken control of tens of thousands of networked computers around the world. Spammers and hackers will then use these victim machines to conduct spam attacks and denial of service attacks.

In the face of spyware, users are recommended Turn off all services - unneeded Windows functions, such as printing and file sharing , at the same time always update the security patch
