Erin Andrews Peephole Video Leads to Malware

Virus writers are using the Erin Andrews peephole video as a trap to infect Apple Macs and Windows PCs with malware. Watch this video from Sophos to find out more. Learn more at http://www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2009/07/19/erin-andrews-peephole-video-sprea...

This is an "enhanced" version of the malware demonstration video, as the earlier one was branded "inappropriate" by YouTube. See the story at http://www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2009/07/22/youtube-snafu-erin-andrews-video-...

That earlier version had over 182,000 views.

its all a joke, done purposely, paid by her to take her infamous to famous, if it wasn't for this peep-hole thing, would she have been on dancing with the stars? she's a tease, like all model-looking sports women anchors, on the field, behind the desk, whatever, it's all money today, and looks, sex, no talent required-paris hilton prime example, women dont belong in sports roles as they are portrayed today, especially not skimpy dressed model looking ones, the sham-wow guy is my hero, lol

Either half of the comments here are written by trolls, individuals with a lack of computer literacy, or using brands names to identify whether Windows machines or Mac OS machines. The gullible, biased, under-educated claims really worry me about certain parts of society. Its whether the internet is causing a disconnect between real life, education, and the social disconnect associated with learning.

It's way better to use software as the vlc or antiviral software, manipulate it so that it downloads copyrighted material in the background without the knowledge of the user. Also hints will be sent to governmental institutions via the I.P. of the user - so that the user will be checked and found guilty of downloading copyrighted material illegally.

@DBSpy1 Oh so you are trying to turn something simple into a life lesson that somehow you feel qualified to give me. All on the grounds of me making a comment about a Mac. You managed to make all your assumptions from just a few posts. How do you do it? How do you manage to stereotype someone and pretend to know their whole life story from them taking about a Mac computer? I think you should stop trying to change the subject and turning posts into wannabe counseling sessions with zero background

@fenderjaguar1985 OMG dude,I'm talking about real life and you are still talking about damn machines,get out of your cave and find real live people to hang around. Maybe you don't have an attitude problem, maybe you are just very dense,good luck in life kid, I wish you well and peace.

@DBSpy1 @DBSpy1 I have both a Mac and a Microsoft PC so I'm well aware of the differences between the two. As far as you mumbling about apps and Google could you go any farther into left field? What's your point? Also how do I have a know it all attitude when anyone with experience with both sides of the PC world will tell you Mac's are safer due to the built in defenses against viruses and the need to authorize changes with the administrators password? Unlike you I respect both machines.
