Washington,
(ANI):
Netizens,
who
are
bitten
by
the
Twilight
bug
and
have
taken
to
the
web
to
search
for
the
latest
instalment
of
the
vampire
series
Eclipse,
have
now
been
entangled
in
the
poisonous
'malware'
traps
set
up
by
cyber
criminals.
Internet
security
leaders
Norton
noted
a
prominent
spike
this
week
in
contaminated
search
results
for
Twilight:
Eclipse
–
with
some
common
searches
returning
more
than
50
percent
malicious
results.
This
implies
that
web
surfers
have
more
than
a
one-in-two
chance
of
clicking
on
a
link
that
can
unleash
viruses,
key
logging
programs
(where
criminals
can
monitor
everything
you
type),
and
an
array
of
other
nasty
computer
bugs
causing
trouble
for
users.
And
those
who
got
their
eyeballs
popping
out
when
they
found
'Nude
Pictures
of
Rob
Pattinson" in
their
search
results
were
in
for
disappointment,
reports
Fox
News.
The
sensational
headline
has
become
one
of
the
primary
phrases
designed
by
cyber
criminals
to
lure
in
unsuspecting
prey,
and
in
effect
collectively
cost
users
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
in
damages.
Furthermore,
if
you
were
thinking
you
could
escape
the
crazy
cinema
crowds
and
relish
Eclipse
right
from
the
comforts
of
your
very
own
bedroom
this
weekend,
think
again.
