Stolen bank account numbers are commanding the highest price in an underground trade of personal details stolen by hackers, according to a survey released Monday by Symantec Corp.

Federal authorities announced last week that members of a "pump-and-dump" spam group that bilked more than $20 million from naïve, overeager investors have all pleaded guilty.

The Trojan responsible for stealing more than 1.6 million personal records from Monster.com uses that information to build targeted spam that offers recipients lucrative, but illegal, money laundering jobs, says Symantec.

A fair amount of business users remain oblivious or unconcerned about many of the security issues involved with mobile devices, according to a new study published by Cisco and the National Cyber Security Alliance.

Some viruses can stop the action during the removal process. In this case rename the vcleaner.exe to some different exe file (e.g. something.exe). Restart your computer in Safe mode (recommended) and run the remover on the infected computer.

Download the remover rmbugbear.exe and run it on infected computer. Then restart your PC normally and run the AVG Complete Test. If the infected computer is connected to LAN, it is neccessary to disconnect this computer from LAN before removing the virus and re-establish the connection in the moment when ALL computers in LAN are cleaned.

Users of AVG Anti-Virus with updated virus databases may continue to receive false warning messages indicating that the I-Worm/Mydoom virus was sent from their email address. This is because the I-Worm/Mydoom virus changes the address of the sender of the infected email. This makes it very difficult to identify the actual sender of the virus, and therefore to notify the sender that his computer is infected. This may result in the virus displaying a different email address from that of the actual sender of the infected email. When such an email is detected by the anti-virus system on the computer which receives the infected e-mail, a warning message is often sent concerning the infection to the address that is indicated as the sender of the infected message - even when the email was NOT sent from this address.

If you have infected computer connected to a LAN, you need it to unplug from the LAN, and re-connect again in the moment when all computers are clean. In any case, check for all available security patches.
