The Zeus virus also has access to a C&C server. This includes your browser passwords, Post Office Protocol or POP3 data, and File Transfer Protocol or FTP passwords. Next, the virus will quickly attack the passwords in your PStore or Protected Storage unit.

The Zeus Trojan can modify any form of data but usually tries to affect your banking details, online identification data, and the computer’s inherent data. He can update the list of information to affect by updating the files. The attacker decides what information to target by altering the configuration files on the installer. First, the virus will survey your configuration file and the web pages that it contains, and will often add an extra section to web pages that previously would not have had more than two sections of data input.

You must be aware of the various sources of information that the Zbot Trojan will hijack. If your system is not protected and you have already clicked on the link, your computer is likely to have been affected with Zeus. If you suspect that your spam is delivering this virus, you should look for the following signs: the email will suggest that you click on the link that the organization sends you so that you can overcome a problem that popped up regarding your online bank details and virtual financial accounts. You may also be inviting the Trojan into your computer by accessing the drive-by downloads and regular spam distribution systems. The virus gets to your computer through emails that are of a spam format, and the bots sending these emails to claim to be representatives from large tech companies or organizations- for example, Microsoft, Facebook, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC), or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
