Grand Theft Auto mod video infecting users with Trojan horse virus via YouTube

It seems as if someone is trying to entice people who are after the Grand Theft Auto mod video, into infecting themselves with a Trojan horse virus. Even though YouTube videos are still safe, this has not stopped those criminals who have nothing better to do in finding new ways in to enticing people who use Youtube to then get infected with the latest Trojan horse.

Director of Malware Research, Chris Boyd has said that the graphics in the mod itself are very lame, and that they are using circa 1986 which are crudely rendered, nothing like what we are used to with the GTA game. However this has not stopped 54 people from downloaded the game.

Before you start to worry, watching the video on Youtube is safe, it is when you get to the end of that video and displays a website, where are able to download the mod itself. Once you have downloaded the mod your troubles will start once you reboot your PC.
