Malware aimed at disabling Microsoft Corp.'s anti-spyware product has been discovered by security experts who expect the virus to be the first of many to follow. Malware aimed at disabling Microsoft Corp.'s anti-spyware product has been discovered by security experts who expect the virus to be the first of many to follow. The Trojan horse, which is also designed to steal online banking passwords from Windows computers, was discovered by security experts at Sophos Plc and Symantec Corp. The virus, called Troj/BankAsh-A and PWSteal.Bankash.A, disables Microsoft AntiSpyware, which is available only as a beta download from the company's website. The malicious code attempts to suppress warning messages displayed by the product and to delete all files within the program's folder. Experts believe this virus is only the beginning of what will be a salvo of malware attacks on Microsoft security products. | ||
