Users of social networking sites including MySpace, Bebo and PhotoBucket have been warned about a Trojan hidden within adverts.
It turns out adverts from the Right Media online ad exchange were unknowingly infected with the Downloader.VBS.Agent.n Trojan.
ScanSafe estimates that up to 12 million ads may have been delivered, exposing a large number of users to the Trojan.
