According to security vendor Websense, downloading any link from the Samsung Telecom site could probably give you malware. While Websense only reported the problem to Samsung recently, the webmasters have said that there is a possibility the malware has been there for some time. The malware mainly requires user interaction, such as answering scam email, and behaves like most trojans. It downloads additional software, changes various registry values, disables anti-virus programs, and logs keystrokes. While the Samsung Telecom site was infested on September 7th, when Websense reported the problem, the webmasters can say they've eliminated almost all instances of malware on their website.
