For Yahoo Instant Messenger or any other IM program user,A new IM worm discovered recently takes the novel step of installing its own web browser onto the victims PC. Ironically titled “The Safety Browser”, its default settings actually make your PC less secure – switching on pop-ups, changing your home page and hijacking your desktop with a looped music track that plays every time you switch your computer on. starts sending out the link to go and get yourself infected when your chatting and looking at someone’s yahoo profile, and sends you to adverts sites which riddle your computer with all sorts of nasties.
