QUOTE A reader...provided a link to a myspace page with a specific friendid that has java script that popsup a transparent background gif on top of the normal user page. The transparent background gif appears to be a Automatic Update of the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool. This is likely to fool a fair amount of people...appears to be a new version of Maximus isc.sans.org -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT. ARE YOU PROTECTED?"

Yes I nearly got fooled into that
 Someone I didn't knwo added me and I went onto their profile to see who it was and then the Automatic Updates box appeared. If it wasn't for the low quality graphics of the box, I probably would not have noticed
