Submission + - NetBrowserPro: Porn Browser Installs Malware
An anonymous reader writes: Spywareguide.com reports that a new web browser has been released, supposedly to help you "surf for porn safely". What the makers of the browser don't mention is the rootkit technology deployed alongside a fake media codec that is actually a Trojan. As for the porn it serves up, many of the galleries it links to redirect you to content that could be viewed as questionable with regards the age of some of the models. This isn't the first time a "rogue browser" has appeared — in the past 12 months, we've had Yapbrowser, Safety Browser and Browsezilla. Is it possible that the development of new web browsers will suffer a "chilling effect" if individuals continue to make browsers that take you to spyware, hijacks and illegal porn?
