ZeuS, SpyEye and Palevo are infamous families of

malware. These types of malware are spread mainly

through drive-by downloads and phishing schemes.

They are so-called Trojan horses which are designed

to steal credentials from various online services

like social networks (such as Facebook, Hi5, Yahoo,

Netlog), online banking accounts (phising), ftp-

accounts, email-accounts and other. They are part

of botnets that are estimated to include millions

of compromized computers.

These types of malware are notoriously difficult to

detect or to remove from any computer. Even if a

user has an up-to-date antivirus program installed,

computers still can become infected.

Because your antivirus program is not always giving

you enough protection against these types of

malware, we have decided to create a program that

can be used as an extra layer of security.

Mirage Anti-Bot will at first only protect against

ZeuS. Blocking of other malware (SpyEye and Palevo)

will be added soon. Mirage Anti-Bot will be

downloading and installing one or more blocklists

from www.abuse.ch, a Swiss-based anti-malware

website. This effectively stops your computer from

reaching infected sites, thus minimizing the risk

to be infected with this extremely dangerous type

of malware.
