There are many trojans and virus which are present to hack the data of a user working online for banking purpose. And recently I heard about the Win32/Bancos.RA trojan. I have no idea how this trojan works and what harm it causes to the infected system. I also do online banking transaction and need useful information about this trojan and also about its removal methods and prevention techniques.
Always make sure before accessing any of your online back accounts that you have installed an up-to-date anti virus. If then too, there is any infection to your computer system, use your anti virus to scan your computer for the infected threat. If still the infected threat is not detected you may use the Windows Safe mode booting option. Press the F8 function key when you restart your computer to boot Windows in Safe mode. In here you can scan your computer system for any possible threat that might have infected your computer system.
The Trojan Win32/Bancos.RA is an alarming threat for online banking. The Trojan intends to verify whether or not the infected host accesses on any websites for online banking purpose. In case the infected host does accesses any online banking websites then the Trojan looks for retrieving secured data of online banking from the infected host. Thus if the Win32/Bancos.RA Trojan has infected any system that is used for online banking then the secured data is in real trouble.
I also earlier used to perform most of my bank transactions online. But recently I have reduced it due to the increasing number of hackers which are getting access to sensitive secured data. This Trojan is not any different, it send the hacked sensitive secured data to the hacker using the email services. To impact on a huge scale it then works towards downloading some arbitrary files to hack the secured sensitive data.
I had a similar trojan on my Dell desktop. My Kaspersky anti virus detected it as Trojan-Banker.Win32.Delf.aj. This Trojan would cause many pop-ups to be displayed even though I had blocked the pop-ups when I used to connect to internet. Many of them were regarding banks that were asking for account numbers and providing some kind of offers. although Kaspersky detected it, it was not able to discard it from my Dell desktop. I finally had to resort to format my Windows Drive to discard the Trojan from my desktop.
