Trojan mimics Windows activation
A new Trojan horse has been found that fools you into providing your credit card number by pretending to be the Windows activation process. It gives a message:
Your copy of Windows has been activated by another user.
To help reduce software piracy, please re-activate your copy of Windows now.
WE will ask for your billing details, but your credit card will NOT be charged.
You must activate Windows before you can continue to use it.
Microsoft is committed to your Privacy. For more information, www.microsoft.com/piracy.
Do you want to activate Windows now?
Details can be found at Symantec. Please note that Microsoft does not ask for credit card details during a legitimate activation.
