Banker.LJQ is a Trojan, which although seemingly inoffensive, can actually carry out attacks and intrusions. Banker.LJQ 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. It uses stealth techniques to avoid being detected by the user: - It modifies system permissions in order to hide itself.
