New Version Of PC Virus

santer_2

A new version of the SpyEye 'trojan horse' software not only steals your money, it then offers false reassurance that it's still there.

The attack - on Windows PCs - has already been detected in the U.S. and the UK.

Trusteer, a security company which detected the attack, says, 'The next time the victim visits their online banking site, the malware hides the fraudulent transactions, as well as artificially changing the total balance.'

Not that Trusteer exactly have an unbiased view on this-they want to encourage people to install their own Rapport spyware on their systems.

Completely agree with you there

I noticed this comment below which made me laugh

"Stealing my money and pretending it has not gone? Spyware? Isn't this just regular banking?"
