Webroot, The First To Discover Rebery

Postby NT50 » Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:32 pm

A discovery of the malicious spyware program Trojan-Phisher-Rebery by Webroot Software prompted the FBI to launch an investigation to catch this spyware criminal.

Webroot was the first anti-spyware vendor to announce the discovery and ability to protect against this new threat.

Webroot Threat Research Team was the first to discover the dangerous program in late April. Following the discovery, Webroot was the only anti-spyware vendor to identify and build a definition to protect its users.

When it was first discovered, Trojan-Phisher-Rebery had infected over 4,500 PCs in 110 countries. Little more than a week later, 16 more countries were infected and the amount of affected PCs doubled. Almost a third of the infected computers were in the United States!
