Warning on stealthy Windows virus

The creators of the virus are after bank logins and personal data
Security experts are warning about a stealthy Windows virus that steals login details for online bank accounts.
In the last month, the malicious program has racked up about 5,000 victims - most of whom are in Europe.

Many are falling victim via booby-trapped websites that use vulnerabilities in Microsoft's browser to install the attack code.

Experts say the virus is dangerous because it buries itself deep inside Windows to avoid detection.
