A domestic computer security firm yesterday warned against a new malicious program that travels via e-mail disguising itself as a free update of its virus-fighting program.
Dr. Ahn's Laboratories said the "Trojan Horse" virus arrives as a new version of its trademarked V3 anti-virus program and, upon its attached file "V3update.com" being opened, it would erase all the data on the target computer's hard disk.
The police's cyber investigation team is currently investigating the cases.
The infected message says it is sent from Ilchi.net, though the firm says it never dispatched such a letter.
Ahn's said there have been cases where abusive programs were posted on an open data exchange platform disguised as V3. However, this is the first time a user received it by e-mail. (KMH)
