Ok this is a warning for those who use a Razor Gaming Mouse and keyboards. The manufacture has been hacked and the filmware is passing out Trojans. The trojans seam to be infected in 8 drivers that were sent out as updates. Razor have their logo on their products

You can read more about it here:

Gaming Mouse-maker Razer Hit With Infected Firmware

Customers who downloaded this software would get the drivers they requested, but they also got an obscure Trojan program called WORM.ASPXOR.AB. "The MalwareMalwarebytes Anti-virus / Anti-malware had very low detection rates, with only 7 out of 41 vendors offering generic detection," Ferguson said.

To make matters worse, gamers often turn off their antivirus protection to speed up their gameplay, so some victims may have never had a chance of catching the Trojan.

Based on the complaints, Ferguson believes that the malicious Trojans were probably available on Razer's Web site for just a few days.
