Rootkit.Win32.Zbot.sapu is a variation of the banking Trojan ZeuS that is generated to install a rootkit. Rootkit.Win32.Zbot.sapu propagates via the bogus Starbucks 'Gift from a Friend' email messages. The bogus Starbucks email messages encompass the infected files attached which declare that a friend has sent them a gift. The malicious Starbucks email messages are entitled 'Starbucks Coffee Company gift from your friend'. In truth, Starbucks permits customers to gift friends on various occasions. However, these fake email messages are not connected with the coffee company. This can be specified by the way it is written that it is not an authentic email message of Starbucks.
Another symptom of the fact that the malicious email is not associated with Starbucks is the sender's email address. The fraudulent emails are sent out from Yahoo and Gmail accounts. In all cases, they are sent with 'high importance.' The file that is attached to the unsolicited email messages is not a menu, but a malicious executable file, detected as Rootkit.Win32.Zbot.sapu. Rootkit.Win32.Zbot.sapu can be difficult to remove from the affected PC because of the installed rootkit. Rootkit.Win32.Zbot.sapu steals personal information from contaminated computers.
