F-Secure detects `valentine eCard' virus

CHENNAI : F-Secure Corporation has detected a virus, Valenavir.A and Bzub.HZ, using its latest database updates. The virus disguises itself as a Valentine's eCard notification email. When users click on the link, it will redirect them to a page that asks them to install a fake Macromedia Flash Player. The fake player is actually a trojan that downloads and installs another BZub variant into the system, says an alert from F-Secure.
