Security researchers have raised warning against a unique type of malware, named the Qakbot Trojan that targets banks, as reported by EWS on November 9, 2010. Although Qakbot was first discovered in 2007 by the security firm Symantec, it is still very harmful and can damage the computer.
Though the Qakbot Trojan, named after its executable file- Qakbot.dll is not new, its features and attacking techniques set it apart from all other well known Trojans. Unlike other kinds of Trojans, it circulates like a worm but infects machine as a Trojan; indicating that users should be very careful now.
