Seen in the wild: New scam pretends to be Google

No news in having another trojan doing typical host redirects, but in this case, we found the use of Google�s name to be mildly interesting: A new variant of Trojan.Delf from the Loadscc gang changes your host file to redirect to a fake Google page. The fake Google page pushes a SpywareIsolator, a rogue antispyware program.

O1 - Hosts: 124(dot)217(dot)251(dot)147 google.dk
O1 - Hosts: 124(dot)217(dot)251(dot)147 google.se
O1 - Hosts: 124(dot)217(dot)251(dot)147 google.co.nz

and so on�
