Panda Segurity informa que el adware es responsable de un tercio de todos los nuevos programas maliciosos. Casi el 60 por ciento de todas las muestras analizadas de malware entre julio y septiembre fueron Caballos de Troya, mientras que pro programas espías sólo representaban el 4.53 por ciento y los gusanos un 2.93 por ciento.
Una de las nuevas estrellas en la lista de malware son los falsos escáneres de antivirus:
El falso escáner de antivirus normalmente informa que tu ordenador está infectado y sugiere la descarga de la aplicación para eliminar el malware. Una vez descargados, los escáneres piden a los usuarios la compra de la aplicación para así poder eliminar una infección que realmente no existe. El objetivo de estos ataques es el beneficio económico.
Además de haber un volumen que va creciendo de estos programas publicitarios, Panda Segurity informa que los troyanos representan casi el 60% de todas las muestras analizadas de malware entre julio y septiembre, mientras que los gusanos y el spyware es sólo el 4.53% y 2.93%, respectivamente.
