Trojan.PWS.ZAQ is a Trojan that is included in the spam campaign related to Pinterest. Trojan.PWS.ZAQ poses as a 'Pinterest Tool' and steals a victimized PC user's login credentials. Trojan.PWS.ZAQ spreads via a bogus Pinterest website named Pinteresf.org. The website instructs visitors to install a Pinterest Tool to 'enjoy more features of the website'. In actuality, the application is a harmful browser extension that's created to collect the usernames and passwords from websites visited by the attacked PC user and transmit the information to a distant server.
