The clampi virus is in the news in a couple places today. Surprisingly it’s in Symantec’s virus database since January and rated as a low risk. However, the sole purpose of this trojan is to monitor your Windows based computer for connections to more than 4500 different financial related sites and log any usernames and passwords used to connect. When it finds your login information, that’s then sent along to a server that the trojan or virus writer controls and then they can transfer money out of your account or accounts.
