Re: Real Player Malware

OK, basically you know how the player have the ads in them? Well Real Media just pulls that information off a server, which a hacker had now gained access to and replaced some of the code. So when a person clicks on the ad, it sends you to the site which the hacker created, then it gathers information about your computer. Once it finds out whether you're vulnerable, it leaves a Trojan horse virus on your PC.

Hope that was simple enough. Let me know if you need clarification.
