Trojan horse threatens latest Windows XP | CNET News.com
Online miscreants have released a Trojan horse that can infect computers running Microsoft’s Windows XP, installing programs to remotely control a victim’s system.
The program–dubbed “Phel,” an anagram of “Help”–infects visitors to a maliciously-created Web site through Internet Explorer’s Help controls, Symantec warned in an advisory this week. A bug in the malicious program may prevent it from infecting some computers, the security company said.
