Title: "New Trojan attacks MS's anti-spyware"
Post by: iago on February 11, 2005, 08:20:40 PM
haha, that didn't take long :D

Quotehi list, this my 1st input .

Trojan attacks Microsoft's anti-spyware program .
"This appears to be the first attempt yet by any piece of malware to
disable Microsoft AntiSpyware," Graham Cluley, a senior technology
consultant at Sophos, said in a statement. "As Microsoft's product
creeps out of beta and is adopted more by the home user market, we can
expect to see more attempts by Trojan horses, viruses and worms to
undermine its effectiveness."
Like many other Trojans, Bankash attempts to steal passwords and
online banking details from Windows users, Sophos said in an advisory.
The program targets users of U.K. online banks such as Barclays,
Cahoot, Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds TSB, Nationwide, NatWest and Smile.

Hey, I use it.

It tries to supress any error messages related to the deletion of the program. That shit is funny. :P
