The Zbot, or the Zeus Trojan is a malware that steals the bank account details of people and gives the info to hackers who will, undoubtedly, clear the account for their own amusement. While it is the job of an antivirus software to detect and delete such malicious programs, it’s really bad when the virus is falsely associated with a program that has nothing to do with the issue.
