InformationWeek > Malicious Code > From Russia With Malware > May 30, 2005

A Russian business is helping to spread the bane of malware by paying web sites to infect visitors with code designed to install adware, spyware, and trojans. This code takes advantage of problems with windows that have been fixed but only on computers that have had their windows updated from the windows update site.

While most businesses that have tried this in the past have been shut down, this site has not as of yet so keep your windows updated and avoid the bad sites such as adult oriented sites that are more likely to try to cause problems to your computer.
