- gbrindisi 13y agoFrom the Sophos article the malware spread is Zeus which is Windows based.
- James_Duval 13y agoZeus? As in banking-details-stealing trojan horse Zeus? As someone who has Opera installed on their home machine, which they also use for banking, how worried should I be? Would Malwarebytes be enough to find and remove the trojan? EDIT: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/zeus-trojan-virus/ http://malwaretips.com/blogs/zeus-trojan-virus/

That shows MalwareBytes detecting it as Trojan.Downloader.szb, and it does appear to be Zeus or a close variant. I'd be concerned. > It is possible that a few thousand Windows users, who were using Opera between 01.00 and 01.36 UTC on June 19th, may automatically have received and installed the malicious software.
