Neverquest is a Viral Threat
Kaspersky Labs has recently made some progress in determining what certain cyber criminal organizations are doing. This unfortunately has discovered an advancement in the realm of threats to online banking, including a very disturbing and potentially viral threat known as Neverquest. If infected by the Neverquest malware a user connecting to a bank or payment center that has been compromised as well would be subject to that connection being compromised by the malicious users involved with propagating Neverquest.
This is a very complex malware infection and according to Kaspersky the program is called Trojan-Banker.Win32/64 and it has not yet realized anywhere near its full potential. This is another clear and present danger in cyberspace which remains essentially unchecked to this point. It is likely that in order to avoid infection completely some relatively severe actions will need to be taken. Much like Cryptolocker, Neverquest will execute in a certain manner that everyday PC users would not be prepared to prevent. Sometimes there is a difference between detecting and preventing such severe malware infections as these.
