Newsbytes reports that a "Xbox emulator" currently being offered for free on the web is actually a Trojan horse designed to covertly rack up money for its authors using pay-for-click and other schemes, malicious code experts said."
The install program is called "EMU_xbox.exe" and it is quite the crafty (crap-assed) way for a company to make money off of pay-per-click services. It installs a program called "NetBUIE.exe" that contacts many servers in order to fake paying click rate sites and it has "... contacted the Fastcounter site nearly 4 million times!" Each time it does this, the money gets racked up, well... it is supposed to.
