    This is a trojan detection. Unlike viruses, trojans do not self-replicate. They are spread manually, often under the premise that they are beneficial or wanted. The most common installation methods involve system or security exploitation, and unsuspecting users manually executing unknown programs. Distribution channels include email, malicious or hacked web pages, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), peer-to-peer networks, etc.

    Characteristics -

    PWS-Banker.gen.i is a password stealing trojan that captures bank account information (username/password) and sends this information to the author via different methods. These methods include (this is not an exclusive list)

    * FTP
    * SMTP
    * HTTP (embedded through URLs or through FORMs)
    * Fake HTTP pages
    * Keyloggers
    * Custom backdoors
    * Injecting DLLs into memory

    There are several variants of the trojan. The description is a general guide. Newer variants require the latest DAT files for detection and cleaning.

    In addition, Password Stealers may steal data from the hard drive.
