Surprised to see this title???

I just want to inform you my dear friends when typing www.google.com in your browsers. Be aware of what you are typing on your address bar. Because you'll never know, a malicious program might invade your computers. You don't want that to happen, right?

F-Secure (An antivirus company) has found a malicious website related in typing the name of the popular search engine Google.com. If a user opens a malicious website, his/her computer gets hijacked, then a lot of different malware gets downloaded and installed automatically, such as trojan droppers, trojan downloaders, backdoors, a proxy trojan and a spying trojan.

The name of the website is Googkle.com

DO NOT GO TO THIS WEBSITE! Otherwise, your computer will be infected!

About this virus: This website is also quite related with Russian websites. No offense to Russians. Several malicious files from these websites have Russian texts.

When this Googkle.com thing is typed in your browser (PLEASE DO NOT TRY!), It shows 2 pop up windows linking to these sites:

www.ntsearch.com

toolbarpartner.com

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Note: If you want to give it a try, you have to take the consequences.
