Fans of The Hunger Games need to be careful what they search for

Fans of The Hunger Games need to be careful what they search for

With the movie already looking like a smash hit, clever yet nasty internet types are taking advantage of innocent fans of under age violence.

Some critics may be calling The Hunger Games the new Twilight, but it's also looking like a lot of nefarious web types are seeing it as a new opportunity. Security outfit Norton has reported that a mess of searches related to the young adult smash are leading to poisoned sites.

Combining the search terms 'hunger games' with 'suzanne collins', 'free movie download' and 'full movie torrent' is leading some users to click onto sites infected with keyloggers, viri and other malicious code. 

Of course, Norton has a lot of Norton-related advice on how to avoid this, but Atomic also has some important advice - read something better!!! We're also doing out bit by providing yet another article - and a safe one at that - that those searches might lead to.

Truly, Atomic has the best interests of all its users at heart.
