01:26 AM: Now I am having weekends on Thursdays and Fridays! Why? Well I have to go to office on Saturday and Sunday !!! I know it sucks, but have to do it for some more days and may be months :-( . It was a Local Holiday today and hence was time to meet old friends again. Had a nice time, and planned ahead for a FRIDAY NIGHT :-P
Have started to tweet a lot of late and after the Haiti Earthquake have been retweeting and tweeting even more! One kind of attempt to help those unlucky people.
While twittering came an amazing news from SANS ISC (whom I follow in twitter) that top 6 links in google search for "Haiti Earthquake Donation" (search string) shows up fake-AV malware to the victims machine! These spammers and rouge malware distributors are really becoming pain in the internet! Have a look below for the attack mechanism.
First you search for "Haiti Earthquake Donation" come up with a page showing results like the ones shown below. (The screenshot is from SANS ISC)

Then when you click on any of these links which have the pattern  "?q=haiti-earthquake-donation" it will redirect you to the site http://fullcomputerscanm.com and it will warn you as below. 

Now you get paranoid and click "OK"!! No don't do it. If you want to know what happens next, take a look below.

As soon as you do "OK", the page shows you all scan completed result and asks you to install the (fake)Antivirus in one or two or more steps as shown below. Once you do this last step, the malware (trojan/key-logger/virus) to your machine! 

To get more information on this kind of attacks please do check this out: http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=7144 . It has got the whole story, I just tried to focus on how any lay man can be more secured and be his own guard!
Happy Internet Surfing,Social Networking and whatsoever you are upto! :-)
