Two arrested over slow computer virus

The police over in Manchester England must have had some slow computer problems caused by the ZeuS or Zbot trojan virus because they spent some manhours and resources to track down two people and arrested them.

This virus collected financial information from people. Information included credit card info and banking passwords and account details. The malware operated in the computers background slowing down the users computer system but even worse it was collecting valuable data that could have been used to steal some major amounts of cash.

The ZeuS trojan spread via differnt methods and it was even downloaded from users on Facebook. Again another example of why people should have some up to date anti virus software on their computers.
