According to PCMag, the attack vector is via Flash, a technology that the Cupertino-company was reluctant to use for a long period of time, because of its alleged security weaknesses. A while back, Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs made an official announcement on the company’s website regarding Apple’s products which according to him wouldn’t include support for Flash from Adobe because the technology is believed to be closed, unstable and antiquated. Adobe didn’t seem to be bothered by this and responded that it’ll focus its whole attention on apps for Google’s Android mobile platform. The research division of antivirus company Panda Security, called PandaLabs discovered that users are sent an electronic receipt from iTunes which looks completely authentic.
AntiVirus Studio 2010 is Ready to Attack Your PC

New malware detects browser, shows fake malware warning page
Microsoft is warning about a new piece of malware, Rogue: MSIL/Zeven, that auto-detects a user's browser and then imitates the relevant malware warning pages from Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome. The fake warning pages are very similar to the real thing; you have to look closely to realize they aren't the real thing. The ploy is a basic social engineering scheme, but in this case the malware authors are relying on the user's trust in their browser, a tactic that hasn't been seen before.
Beyond the warning pages, the actual malware looks like the real deal: it allows you to scan files, tells you when you're behind on your updates, and enables you to change your security and privacy settings. Performing a scan results in the product finding malicious files, but of course it cannot delete them unless you update, which requires paying for the full version. Attempting to buy the product will open an HTML window that provides a useless "Safe Browsing Mode" with high-strength encryption. To top it all off, the rogue antivirus webpage looks awfully similar to the Microsoft Security Essentials webpage; even the awards received by MSE and a link to the Microsoft Malware Protection Center have been copied.
