The BBC have reported that PC users should be on the watch out for a fake Microsoft security update via a bogus website.
But anyone downloading from the site will get a virus installed that opens a backdoor into their computer the program's creators can exploit.

Security firms and Microsoft urged users to ensure they visit legitimate sites when downloading updates.
