I got this through Facebook.. NASTY!! Mind you, it all looks real for the Security, as in being secure and all but I’d lost a few friends because of it. It asked me to confirm myself on Facebook (not a problem, but I never click links!!), then sure enough I followed along as it asked me for my e-mail, then password from my server (I’m thinking now, why the heck did I give that out?!), but then it goes into bank information, in case I ever wanted to purchase credits on Facebook. I don’t even use my own banks online that I have available to me. It’ll ask for the first 6 digets of your credit card or debit card number. I typed in 000000. Then it all started over again, wanting me to confirm myself on Facebook. All you need to do on Facebook is quickly change your password, then goto your server ‘if’ you gave that password out like I did and change that aswell for your e-mail. It only takes a couple of minutes. But if you don’t change, you will be infected and it will continue on. I have a virus protector that I pay for each month and it is updated each time I turn on my computer. Just BE SURE you change those passwords!! And DEFINITELY don’t give out bank info!

The current strategy to deal with malware, is to attempt to prevent the infection occurring. It is now clear that there should be a refocus, and the data itself should be protected, so if it is obtained without permission, it is rendered useless courtesy of encryption. Zeus and other Trojans key-log information as opposed to ‘lifting’ it whilst in transit, thus anti-key logging software should be employed to conceal the data entered.

“it is shocking to know that most of the Latest Security Software, even if they are updated to the latest version, are incapable of finding and removing Zeus Malware infections. ” –

So what were the AV apps that did not detect_ these would be the ones you do not want to use _ please report real information that folks can actually use!!!!

This is not a particularly helpful article and in fact simply helps spread FUD. The main thrust seems to be “there’s a virus out there that will rob you blind but you have a less than 1 in two chance of detecting an infection so ‘be careful’ what web links you click.”

This is a bit like saying don’t wander around Harlem after dark, don’t produce films quoting from the Koran in Holland and don’t drive your auto with your eyes shut.

This link has some interesting information on removing a few different variants of ZeuS.

Almost as surprising as the ability of most virus applications to detect the virus, is that there is also virtually no information available on how to remove it (some instructions, or a link to them, from this very article would have been nice).
