Banbra.FRJ is a Trojan, which although seemingly inoffensive, can actually carry out attacks and intrusions. It captures certain information entered or saved by the user, with the corresponding threat to privacy:
passwords saved by certain Windows services. It sends the gathered information to a remote user by any available means: email, FTP, etc. It reduces the security level of the computer:
it changes the security settings of Internet Explorer, decreasing its security level. Banbra.FRJ does not spread automatically using its own means. It needs an attacking user's intervention in order to reach the affected computer. The means of transmission used include, among others, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, email messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP, IRC channels, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, etc. |
