Zeus Virus Malware Most Software Cannot Detect This Trojan, From: http://thepcsecurity.com Zeus is a financial malware. It infects consumer PCs, waits for them to log onto a list of targeted banks and financial institutions, and then steals their credentials and sends them to a remote server in real time. Additionally, it may inject HTML into the pages rendered by the browser, so that its own content is displayed together (or instead of) the genuine pages from the banks web server. Thus, it is able to ask the user to divulge more personal information, such as payment card number and PIN, one time passwords and TANs, etc. Zues Virus is understood to be the biggest culprit among the family of malware targeting the financial websites and institutions. According to some of the studies, as much as 44% of all financial malware are based upon Zeus.

Zeus One of the Hardest Financial Malware to Get Detected Despite such an alarming state, 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. In a recent study by Trusteer, it has been revealed that as much as as 55percent of all the tested 10,000 computers, which were equipped with the latest updated security software and antivirus, were not able to detect and remove the traces of Zeus Virus. Out of the computers in which Zeus Trojan was detected, 55percent computers were having up-to-date antivirus, 14percent were having antivirus installed but it was not up-to-date, while 31percent were not having antivirus installed onto them. it is estimated that installing an anti-virus product and maintaining it up to date reduces the probability to get infected by Zeus by 23pecent, The effectiveness of an up to date anti virus against Zeus is thus not 100percent, not 90percent, not even 50percent its just 23percent. So disturbing figures. But it re-iterates the viewpoint that no software, howsoever smart, intelligent and pricey, can't buy you the absolute PC Security and Privacy. The safety of your computer is within your own hands. You MUST exercise caution before you click on any link. SO ALWAYS REMEMBER... ZEUS IS DANGEROUS smiley
