New Trojan Spoofs Windows xp Activation

There is a new Trojan in town, called Kardphisher, and it could be one of the trickiest computer scams ever made. It uses the annoying Windows Activation to make a user think that their system has been activated on another computer. It then prompts them to reactivate their PC by entering in some of their personal information, including their credit card number.

If you don’t enter in the credit card details the Trojan will shutdown your computer. The creator even took it a step further by preventing you from running or switching to another application which is what makes this really nasty.
