Pirates of the Caribbean Trojan
Film buffs should be aware that there is a new virus circulating masking as a preview of the blockbuster movie. Instead of a trailer, you actually get malicious code installed that can potentially disable your virus scan.

Rather than a trailer for the blockbuster movie starring Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, the email has a copy of the Troj/Yar-A Trojan horse attached. If cinema fans run the attached file they are shown a fake error message, and the Trojan horse downloads malicious code from the internet while disabling anti-virus software.
