TSPY_ZBOT.ADD is a Zbot Trojan that is distributed via fake HMRC emails attacking taxpayers in the United Kingdom. TSPY_ZBOT.ADD is included in a spam campaign that abuses the name of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The spam VAT return emails are being used to distribute ZeuS (ZBOT), the data-stealing Trojan. The file attachment that is added to the bogus HMRC emails is an archive called something like 'VAT_7808740.zip', which is not a receipt for the VAT return. Instead, it covers a security threat, identified as TSPY_FAREIT.ADI. While being installed on a targeted PC, TSPY_ZBOT.ADD looks for information pertaining to file managers, email, FTP clients and a variety of web browsers, involving Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, K-Meleon, Flock Browser, FastStone and RockMelt. In addition to stealing data, TSPY_FAREIT.ADI delivers a spyware Trojan, identified as TSPY_ZBOT.ADD.
