Sunbelt Software warns of malware threats

Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT 33 was the prevalent malware threat in April, IT security consultants have been told.

The latest report by Sunbelt Software revealed that the trojan was responsible for 33.75 per cent of infections detected last month.

In addition, Exploit.PDF-JS.Gen was identified in 3.41 per cent of cases, INF.Autorun in 2.34 per cent, Trojan-Spy.Win32.Zbot.gen in 1.88 per cent and Trojan.Win32.Generic!SB.0 in 1.85 per cent.

Sunbelt Software research centre manager Tom Kelchner also noted that FraudTool.Win32.SecurityTool entered April's list of common malware threats and explained it is a loader for a rogue security product.

'In recent months, many security researchers at antivirus companies have been noticing a slow but steady increase in rogue activity. It's becoming a very significant source of income for the bad guys,' he added.

Last month, Norman Data Defence Systems chief research officer Righard Zwienenberg claimed businesses should be constantly alert to malware infections on their systems, despite IT security becoming a more automatic and everyday process.
