Malicious program masquerades as a Adobe Flash Player and warns users they need to update Flash Player which is out of date. However, once executed, the application downloads and installs another malicious executable file on the system of the website visitors.

Hackers take advantage of Zero day vulnerabilities or week administrators passwords and enters their code in the header file. The downloaded file, written in Visual Basic, is saved in a writeable location on the user's computer.

Some proactive steps to protect yourself from this and other online banking Trojans : make sure your anti-virus software is current, never enter your bank account login credentials on a page you've been redirected to, or one that looks different than your actual bank's site. Most online banking Web pages are configured with HTTPS encryption, ensuring your transactions are secure. Look for the "HTTPS" highlighted in green in the URL before you enter type any sensitive information. Also, regularly monitor your bank account for any suspicious transactions.

I had a pop up last week who said they were Google and needed to do an update. I let them in. Looked real. A program started running to check my disk drives. I couldn't stop it. Then all the icons on my desk top started disappearing. Viper for some reason doesn't cover this problem with their firewall or virus checker. It wasn't a virus. Don't know what they protect if not this. The hackers are getting smarter. Be careful out there.

I agree.

I'm using these guys now - getting silver, gold and food:

But I still have a bank account without recourse for some things even though I don't like it. I'm working my way out of it though.

So how do you know if you have it? It says in the OP article that "So, it gets very hard to detect Mousetrap Trojan symptoms just like Virus.Injector.AE."

So what would you search for to know if you had it?
