Sacramento Examiner, By Joanna Jullien
Local computer expert Jason Taylor of Computer Professional Services in Granite Bay and Roseville, discovered a Trojan downloaded onto his computer from simply reading a trusted, well branded news website.

According to Taylor, his Dad experienced the same thing on his computer while surfing trusted websites.
