Spyware Offers Free Access Codes for Adult Sites

GLENDALE, Calif. — Internet safety firm Panda Software Labs has announced the discovery of a new spyware program that lures victims with the promise of free porn.

The spyware, known as DigiKeyGen, promises free access to adult paysites by allowing users to download a free password generator. Users get a fake password generator, a dummy spyware program and an alleged anti-spyware program all bundled into one.

Once the download process is complete, a warning tricks users into thinking that their computer has been infected. The warning offers a quick fix to the infection for $49.95.

“You must always be suspicious of offers for something in exchange for almost nothing,” Luis Corrons, director of Panda Software Labs, said. “Cyber crime applies traditional fraud techniques to the Internet and as a result, anybody tempted by the chance to get something for nothing is taken in, unaware of the risks of apparently harmless actions, such as downloading small programs or accessing certain websites.”

Corrons added that users who believe their computers to be infected should rely on a bona fide anti-malware solution.

"Even users with sound IT knowledge could drop their guard with offers like this," Corrons said. “It is essential to be cautious of irresistible offers in the Internet.”

According to Panda Software Labs, DigiKeyGen can be found on numerous adult websites.

Users can check their computers free of charge and learn more about other malware threats at the Panda site.
