McAfee, a company that develops anti-virus softwares, has released a statement that warns the users of Windows operating system of Real Media files.

They reported that Real Media files may be affected by a worm called W32/Realor. The worm does not exploit the RealOne program or other Real players. The worm was released on the same day that Microsoft released a patch for Adobe’s Flash player.

One of the goals of a malicious code, such as this worm, is to make infected videos more popular. A worm in MySpace called Samy used techniques on building a long list of friends for a MySpace user named Samy.

Google is in the process of making these type of attacks to be difficult.
