PWS:Win32/Zbot.gen!AM is a password stealing Trojan that is a component of a spam email campaign. The fake email fools attacked PC users into downloading and installing PWS:Win32/Zbot.gen!AM onto their computers. The bogus email announces the target PC user that there's one 'export license as well as payment invoice', which he/she has got. The fraudulent email then asks the victim to open an attachment, which carries PWS:Win32/Zbot.gen!AM, while announce that the residual payment has been sent the day before. If the victimized computer user opens the malevolent attachment, his/her PC is corrupted by PWS:Win32/Zbot.gen!AM.
