Bogus Flash Player prompt

 Landing on the below site the visitor is presented with the following bogus Flash Player prompt ...

While this is a new face on an old trick (bogus ActiveX prompts) it results in the same type infection - Trojan.Zlob
Clicking any of the above button traps the visitor with no way out ... however you can use "Alt + F4" or use the Task Manager to kill Internet Explorer.

Clicking "OK" leads to an ".exe" from "newoutserv(dot)com" ... there are several other related sites with the same prompt.

Mike,

What about the red x close button?  Aren't there security features for the chrome that prevent the close button being spoofed nowadays in pop-up windows?  Of course, HTML pages with fake dialogue boxes that are no more than graphics on a web page are a different story.

Sandi,

The same applies for the Red X button ... due to the way the page is coded.
