Brief Description 

    

Legmir.AQ is a Trojan, which although seemingly inoffensive, can actually carry out attacks and intrusions: screenlogging, stealing personal data, etc.

 

Legmir.AQ prevents access from programs to websites of several companies related with security tools (antivirus programs, firewalls, etc.).

Legmir.AQ redirects attempts to access web pages of certain banks to spoofed pages, with the aim of logging information entered by the user in these pages.
