The Zeus v3 trojan virus hit Britain hard with more than 3000 victims and a haul of more than half a million pounds though, according to the security firm M86, all victims were customers of just one online bank in Britain which is still unnamed probably due to security reasons. Despite the Zeus v3 attack being singled out in Britain, the security experts have not ruled out the possibility of an even wider coverage of trojan virus attacks.
Trojan viruses like the Zeus v3 are very tricky and hide in websites, emails or downloads. Once installed on a computer they can record every type of the keyboard, steal confidential information or even open up a PC's security so that it can be controlled remotely from another country. So be careful how you conduct your online money transactions.
As of late, there have been no updates for a Zeus v3 removal tool from the major Antivirus software manufacturers.
Do keep this blog bookmark and check for updates for the Zeus v3 removal tool.
