Smile banking website

Norbert_Colon

I visited the Smile internet banking website this morning to find four suspicious extra input boxes asking me, 'For security', to type in all four items of memorable information.

I wasn't falling for that, as the site only ever asks for one at a time, and the prompt for that isn't on the front page anyway. I phoned Smile and they confirmed it wasn't a change they'd made.

Then I noticed that the extra boxes were only visible in Firefox, not when I visited the same page with Opera or Internet Explorer. A virus scan revealed a suspicious program univ.exe lurking in a Documents and Settings folder called Qapufo. Once I'd deleted that, and got rid of the registry entries it had cheekily created to run itself, the appearance of the Smile site was back to normal.

I've never known a virus/piece of malware bother to get at Firefox before. Very odd.

Apologies for the monologue but I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has had the same thing.

Seems like there's a bit of it around at the moment...

Don't know about the specifically targeting Firefox though, I would say that's unusual
