New Trojan blocking computer work spreads on the web

PanARMENIAN.Net - A new virus, Trojan Balckmailer has spread on the web, Kaspersky Lab website reports.

The virus is masked under a freeware, capable of hacking the profiles of VKontakte social network users. The user is promised unlimited access to restricted profile sections of other users.
