Banking Trojans are one of the most prevalent Malware species in the threat landscape today. Malware authors aim to keep infections live and undetected long enough so that they can get what they are really after: money.
Financial motivations lead malware developers to craft the stealthiest banking Trojans to steal personal and financial data for further exploitation on the black market. Day after day innocent victims are hacked with the end result being an emptied out bank account.
This video demonstrates how dangerous and stealthy banking Trojans can be and why we must continue to raise awareness on the issue.

Hi Folks,
I found a treath in my PC and Panda doesn´t detected it. The Name is XEAXA.EXE It opened a Window like a black DOS. I closed it, but I don’t know what it did with my computer. Help me!
Hi Mariana,
Please refer to the International Support Forum for technical queries. Thanks a lot! Leyre
ola amigos, estou com um virus terrivel no meu computador chamado xeaxa, e nem um antivirus o encontra, eu sei todo o caminho dele, e até mesmo onde ele esta, mas quando vou a pasta onde esta marcado o caminho dele, ele esta possivelmente invisivel (não oculto). o que posso fazer?
