 | | Security experts have intercepted two malicious Trojans hidden in video files that download and install spyware, diallers and computer viruses when played in Microsoft Windows Media player. |
 | | However, what they actually do is redirect the user to other internet addresses from which they download adware, spyware, diallers (applications that dial-up high rate toll numbers) and viruses, security experts at PandaLabs said. |
