Internet users should remain vigilant when it comes to tackling malware, according to one expert.
Tom Kelchner, who acts as research centre manager at the antivirus firm Sunbelt Software, believes that malware is becoming increasingly difficult for people to notice.
He said: "Malware creators are becoming more creative in the way they produce their malicious code.
"This is in part to try and beat antivirus and other malware prevention tools."
