As reported from CRN, the virus has been identified as the ‘Kneber Botnet Virus’, according to security researchers over at NetWitness.

The virus is thought to be a version of the previous ‘Zeus Spyware’ program and has the ability to gain access to your login information for email, social networking sites and financial databases.
