The Download.Ject malware attack has resurfaced, using the popular AIM and ICQ instant messaging networks to spread itself.
According to an alert from PivX Labs, the worm targets several known flaws in Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) browser to redirect compromised machines to Web sites displaying adult advertisement and referral links. PivX Labs described the latest attack as a variant of the Download.Ject attack, which hijacked a large number of popular Web sites and used them distribute malicious programs on infected machines.
