hi 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. http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojbankasha.html http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-5569429.html?tag=zdfd.newsfeed http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/02/09/banking_trojan/ ma7moud
