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

&lt;p&gt;Clicking &amp;quot;OK&amp;quot; leads to an &amp;quot;.exe&amp;quot; from &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;newoutserv(dot)com&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot; ... there are several other related sites with the same prompt.&lt;/p&gt;
