Comments on: Outlook “Patch” Spam Leads to Keyloggers http://blog.webroot.com/2009/10/21/outlook-patch-spam-leads-to-keyloggers/ WEBROOT - INSIGHTS INTO THREATS AND TRENDS FROM OUR INTERNET SECURITY EXPERTS Thu, 23 May 2013 07:00:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Andrew Brandt http://blog.webroot.com/2009/10/21/outlook-patch-spam-leads-to-keyloggers/#comment-696 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:50:17 +0000 http://blog.webroot.com/?p=1500#comment-696 Scott — this blog item does not describe a legitimate Microsoft Outlook patch update. It is a scam that installs a keylogger on your computer. Do NOT install any update to Outlook that comes from anywhere other than http://update.microsoft.com

If you have already downloaded and attempted to run such an update, you may already be infected. Scan your computer immediately, and use a different, uninfected computer to change any passwords that may have been used, or are stored, on the infected computer.

Thank you
