The virus could easily be adapted to pick up the SSH password. Nevertheless, what in the world will the user do once they SSHed into one of the bank's machines? Run some scripts? Sure.... All I can really say is, if you're using Windows, make sure that you never come close the Internet Explorer, use Firefox or Opera. That, and an updated anti-virus is your main line of defense. Also, take a look at Spybot Search and Destroy to clean your spyware on a regular basis. But honestly, sucks to be you if you're using Windows. If you really want security, choose a Mac or an Ubuntu Linux loaded Dell or HP for your next computer purchase. Both Linux and Mac are easy to use if you take just _a little bit_ of time to learn them, the former is getting easier with every release and the latter is already high quality and very easy to use.

Almost every time, it shows a Trojan Horse. After investigating it, it seems like I get it from the net while I am surfing. Very good idea to run virus check.
