Cracking and Warez sites are Host of Trouble!!
It is nothing to laugh at and should be understood that gamers have no freedom right now. That said this new Variant to Virux Trojan is in regards to Win32/Vitro Trojan. It seems tobe infecting .exe and .Scr files just like this.
According to Trend Micro:
The downloaded malware include variants under the FAKEAV, TDSS, and VUNDO families. Infection chains, however, are notable for the presence of VIRUT and VIRUX malware. VIRUX and VIRUT attacks were initially about the volume of infected PCs. The numbers are massive enough to worry Web users and security researchers: around 20,000 PCs are infected per day

Now it seems to be more and more sites with getting computer infected. It also seems the Malware writers are using these servers for helping infect essentially gamers computers. So for the time being, if you have a favorite game and you want to:
- No-CD Crack (This is good for those who want to play the game without the CD)
- Key Gen Cracks (This is used for pirated version of a game)
- Update Cracks (This is used to prevent CD checking or Also prevent Version Checking)
Windows 7 will sport Direct X 10 Compliance!
The new feature is called WARP10, for “Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform,” and it’s essentially a DX10-compliant, software-only rasterizer that was written by Microsoft; it runs directly on the CPU. In a situation where a DX10 app needs to run but can’t find DX10-compliant hardware, it will run on WARP10, albeit very, very slowly. Ultimately, you can think of WARP10 as a “software DX10 GPU” that will exist as a fallback in Windows.[via Arstechnica]
