Fake YouTube Pages Used to Spread Viruses

Just great…that fake YouTube page generator we told you about a month ago (here) is now in the wild wreaking havoc on unsuspecting web surfers. As always, be careful what you click on and pass the word, not the worm.

Even some sophisticated surfers could get taken in by a sneaky new attack in which criminals create fake YouTube pages -- dead-on replicas of the real site -- to push their malicious software and make it look like it's safe stuff coming from a trusted source.

Thanks for letting us know. The key to being safe on the web is of course having a good anti virus security suite, but also being careful as to what websites you browse and what files you download. There are very clever techniques out there and most people with little knowledge fall for these simple techniques then get their PC messed up.

Everyone, stay safe

Is that link you posted in your message safe? Or does it link to the dangerous sites?
