Researchers Discovered a Hybrid Trojan That Combines Zeus and Carberp

Recent enough the Trusteer team at IBM discovered a new Trojan variant called ‘Zberp’, which is formed by the combination of two other more notorious Trojans: Zeus and Carberp. This newly discovered Trojan draws features from both and then utilizes them for its own use.

Installing good antivirus and internet protection solutions like McAfee is a good thing to do for detecting and removing Zberp, before it infects your data. Its products are easy to use, quick, effective, and usually work smoothly. However, as with every software, you may also get problems with McAfee security software. Calling McAfeetechnical support phone number at time of need and availing their technical support is an easy way to get help. 

Focusing on Zberp, once the Trojan infects the victim’s PC, it then writes a registry key, and then removes the key at every startup and writes it again on every shutdown. This helps it to maintain its persistence on the system and makes it undetected during antivirus scan, performed at system startup. The Trojan can steal information about the computer, take screenshots and send them to criminals, and steal online accounts’ login credentials and data of online forms etc.

VIPRE antivirus 2014 and VIPRE internet security 2014 are the other two good solutions that can protect your data from Zberp. These solutions are updated with latest virus definitions. They will detect the presence of Zberp Trojan before it enters into your system. These solutions give optimal performance and a good thing is that, support for VIPRE products can be availed easily and instantly.

To conclude all, it is not surprising that malware writers are using and combining the codes of two different viruses or malwares. Some of them have been effective. As the source codes of both Zeus and Carberp leaked and are open to all, so this time the attackers have successfully bundled the two together and formed a new hybrid variant. Installing reliable antivirus is necessary for users, as the frequency of Trojan variants attacks is further going to increase in coming future.
