Google doodle takes you to scareware sites

Well, lets face it, clicking the doodle only takes you to a google search on that subject. That will invariably include images, and as we all know, the whole google image search thing (especially with certain other people) leads to malware.
That title is a little misleading IMHO...

As usual, "If it seems to good to be true, it probably is."
If you didn't apply for the invitation at Google and the reply didn't come directly from Google,
then don't go near the invitation.

Windows 7 more malware-resistant than XP/Vista

Quote
Windows XP SP3 32-bit has an infection rate of 15.9 per thousand systems, while Windows Vista SP2 32-bit has half this infection rate, 7.5 per thousand. Windows 7 32-bit nearly halves this again to 3.8 per thousand, while Windows 7 64-bit managed to get the infection rate per thousand down to 2.5.

Win32/Alureon brings back old school virus techniques, enhanced

Quote
While working recently on different Win32/Alureon samples, we noticed some behaviour that deviated from what we’ve seen before. A particular set of files was taking longer to exhibit malicious behaviour than others. We started looking for why this was so, and ended up with a blast from the past. This time the malware was using Win32/Crypto-style decryption to elude anti-virus scanners.
