Earlier tonight we released an urgent update for Trojan-PSW.Win32.Sinowal.u.
Sinowal is a family of password stealing Trojans which steals usernames/passwords entered via forms in an internet browser. It particularly targets certain banking domains and also has the ability to steal other locally stored passwords.
