Windows Genuine Advantage Phished;We don't have to pay to "activate" a copy of Windows

Symantec is warning users of the new trojan horse that phished Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage.

Users should KNOW that activating a copy of Windows is free (online activation or using some toll-free numbers).

If ever you see got that Windows asking for credit card information to activate the copy of Windows, DO NOT enter your credit card details.  Run a scan using antivirus or antimalware program.  You're maybe infected with Trojan.Kardphisher!
