The Script "Activity Launcher 1.2" opens a new window in Plus! upon logging in, notifying the user there is a "new update", but it redirects him to an advertising website (which I won't link here) if he clicks on the "Download" button.

Apparently msig.info is no longer in service and is now parked with (probably) domain registrar's advertisement page. Dunno why the update check results in a "new update available" though...it's probably poorly written. Anyway the advertisement seems ok though, not very malicious.

Yeah that's what I thought, thanks for the clarification. RE: Activity Launcher 1.2 fake update by Menthix on 03-13-2010 at 06:40 PM
Indeed not really malicious (yet). Not much I can do for existing users either. |
