A trojanized installer for the popular Super Mario 3: Mario Forever game for Windows has been infecting unsuspecting players with multiple malware infections.
Super Mario 3: Mario Forever is a free-to-play remake of the classic Nintendo game developed by Buziol Games and released for the Windows platform in 2003.
The game became very popular, downloaded by millions, who praised it for featuring all the mechanics of the classic Mario series but with updated graphics and modernized styling and sound.
