Dear Reader,

At PC Tools, we want all our users to be aware of the latest threats
so they can take steps to protect themselves.

PC Tools’ Malware Research Center has discovered another online
Twilight scam, promising viewers they can watch the “New Moon” movie
for free. Here’s what really happens:
• Fans are baited with the text websites, chat rooms and blogs that
read: “Watch New Moon Full Movie.” Concurrently, comment posts are
filled with related keywords to attract more search engines.
• Search results for the movie then link users to stolen images from the
movie itself, convincing the fan that the movie is only one click
away.
• When they click on the “movie player” they are told to install a
"streamviewer".

The streamviewer, however, installs malware on the user’s computer.

This is of course part of a larger trend, where cybercriminals use the
popularity of current affairs, world events and even movie premieres
to attract people who seek free or pirated content.

Our advice is to see films in the cinema. Sure the popcorn is
over-priced, but it’s still cheaper than having your bank details
taken from your PC and your account drained of funds.
