Beware of Pre-release movies links - Most of them are malwares

spam.jpgDon’t be surprised if you received a link with in a  mail or while searching on Google to download a movie which is yet to be released as it is very likely that most of them will be spams as they used to spread malwares or spyware in your PC. This happens because now spammers or hackers are targeting the very popular terms or the movies for which a lot of us very often search like harry potter movies or the software which are yet to be release. But once we reach to the targeted link we found that it asks for any plug-in or patch to install for effective download or to view videos properly. And many of us who are unaware of the fact download or install these malwares and hence targeted for several attacks.

The same thing also happens once these movies are released with in the torrents or direct download links  from Rapidsahr, megaupload or several others. My main aim here is to introduce about such fraud and unless you trust any website or link don’t allow any suspicious act to happen.

Share your views if any of such links you received or ever you caught in the similar situation.
