The ZBot-D Trojan, which is also called ZBot, was first discovered in February this year and mostly spreads via e-mails, explains Microworld Technologies.
The Trojan can easily go through a firewall, provide the hacker remote access to the infected system, as well as steal financial data.
ZBot was designed to perform various malicious activities at the same time including modifying files, creating new system processes and deleting cookies. Keystrokes are recorded and sent to the botnet herder, when personal details are entered into online banking Web sites.
Once a ZBot-infected e-mail is opened, a file called "ntos.exe" is installed in the registry that will activate the Trojan at the system start up.
