Spotify ads hit by malware attack

[matmat is verified member.]

Have been removing this from my brothers laptop.... not very good is it?

"The advertisement, which appeared within Spotify's Windows desktop software, did not need to be clicked on in order to infect a user's machine."

Damn, it sucks that you don't even need to click anything. I haven't loaded up Spotify in a few weeks, and a good thing too by the sound of it.

I got this on one of my laptops a few weeks ago, but I dont use spotify. Apparently it was on a host of large website :?

how did you delete it?
