A Virus, Keylogger is on your way, the latest bad man tool on orkut. Most of the time, it is hyperlinked with the an image of a video player (refer screenshot above). If you click on the image it redirects you to a site which tries to install something on your computer. Norton AntiVirus detects it as a Keylogger and Mcafee as Malware.

» Safeguard Your Privacy – Some Routine Tips
- You must have a good anti virus installed
- Avoid clicking on links scrapped to you by unknown members.
- Avoid navigating to the links scrapped from your friends – There may be a great possibility that your friend is actually not your friend and someone else.
- You must avoid surfing unknown scrapbooks since these scraps execute an embed scrap all which sends the same scrap to your friends from your profile without letting you know anything.

Dear
I am not able to login from my system in orkut.
It will say “Orkut is sending the jammer worm”
Even i tried antivirus- AVG/norton/Antivir/nod32
not able to get it done
Even if i type orkut in google e\search , it will show the same message
[...] This is orkut’s way of curbing spam and execution of malicious javascripts or keyloggers and virus attacks [...]
