From Rogers Cadenhead:

Her PC had both Windows Firewall and Norton Anti-Virus running, though the latter’s virus definitions were last updated in January. Neither one stopped this crack, which is reportedly installed by exploiting an Internet Explorer vulnerability. I think I’ve found and removed the trojans, which weren’t gone completely until I got rid of all System Restore backups saved by XP, but I’m tempted to wipe the hard drive and reinstall to make sure.

Because Trojan.Abwiz can update itself and send data such as a keystroke log to other compromised PCs, mom has to change her credit card numbers and review other confidential information that might now be in the hands of identity thieves.

In other news, Microsoft will be releasing 12 security updates on Tuesday.
