New Virus "Herustic.Adwaredropper.A"
 

This virus creates a file in C:WINDOWS named "systray.exe", and it will drop the virus "Adware.WinTaskAd". The virus downloads and installs more ad ware from other websites. This virus is disguised as an MSN Messenger hack tool. The virus displays an error message when executed, although there is actually no real error with the virus when you execute it. The virus attempts to spread a fake "Hack Tool" that transmits by the name of "MSN Fun Maker", and the actual file name MSNFunMaker204.exe. It uses the generic Windows Installer icon.

McAfee and Symantec do not provide protection for this virus although McAfee has responded by adding this file to their "Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP) list.
