I just got this notice from my bank this morning.
**Important** There have been reports nationwide of a virus/malware program that is infecting personal computers. This malware program (called zeusbot or zbot) looks for login screens of credit union home banking sites. Once it detects this login screen it tries to record your key strokes for your login. Once that data is collected the malware program will launch a secondary screen to request your credit card information supposedly to verify your login. This screen is NOT generated from the financial institutions web site but from the infected PC. Once the information is gathered it transmits the data to the fraudsters via your internet connection. If you encounter this pop-up window, your computer could be infected with this malware/virus. For your safety, DO NOT ENTER this additional information. You should call you bank and have your password reset as soon as possible and you should not log back into your account until you have cleaned your computer of this malware/virus.
