Scraps with Virus Keylogger



Have you received a scrap recently with the above pic and clicked on it??

Then you probably have a keylogger, a virus that monitors keystrokes made on your keyboard and sends it to a remote location, installed on your computer.

When you click on that pic in a scrap, it redirects you to a site which tries to install a keylogger in your system. Some antiviruses detect it, some others don't.

Hence the next time you receive any scraps from strangers with a link on it, delete it then and there. Even when you friends send you scraps with links, make sure of the identity of the user and his intention, before clicking on any links in scraps.

Needless to say, delete the scrap with above pic, wherever you can.

Stay vigilant, stay safe
