Kwinzy.com

Posted: November 24, 2009

Kwinzy or Kwinzy.com is a rogue website which contains malicious code that is embedded into Internet Explorer (IE). Other browsers are less vulnerable to the infection, but can also be infected. The Kwinzy.com website is often downloaded into a system when the user types an incorrect address in the web-browser. Any name the user puts into the address bar thereafter will redirect the browser to Kwinzy.com. Kwinzy can misleadingly replace declared content like movies or codecs and is downloaded as a trojan that invades the system by exploiting IE vulnerabilities, when websites with malicious scripts are downloaded.
