"The support website at gaming hardware manufacturer Razer, has been compromised to distribute malware", writes Rik Ferguson from Trend Micro in their blog. According to Ferguson, Razer took their support website down after it was found out that a big amount of the device drivers offered for download at the site were infected with a Trojan. The Trojan delivers the original installer but then goes on to drop a copy of WORM.ASPXOR.AB in the system directory. 7 of 41 scanners at Virustotal flagged the infection.
At the moment of writing this, Razer Support Downloads page is still under maintainence. Announcement recommends to run a virus scan if one has "downloaded and installed drivers or firmware from www.razersupport.com from the 19th of September 2009".
