AntiVirusConnection

The Actns/Swif.T has been a tricky one. It seems this virus has just recently spawned, causing computers to show a embedded shockwave/flashplayer file within IE/Firefox browser. Inside the embedded swf, it features a redirect to a phishing website that I advise everyone NOT to click on! So if you see this embedded vicious file pop up, Do Not Click It! It will install another virus called Antivirus 2009, which those of you who know this virus already, it’s a pest to get rid of.

Actns/Swif.T is a new infection that’s usually installed when trying to view a YouTube video. It contains a redirect to a phishing website embedded within a SWF file, which then installs Antivirus 2009.
