Gee, just when lots of people start feeling good about online banking, troubles are brewing!
It looks like this one hits your system (after a friendly quiet download and install) when you try to log on to an actual bank site.

…Lycos is warning users of a rapidly spreading Trojan virus that tries to direct users to fake banking sites.

Lycos said Barclays and Bank of Scotland are the latest banks to see their sites copied and users directed to the fakes, where their log-ins and passwords can be recorded for fraud.

Last month, Lycos said it tracked and stopped 3.3m attempts to load the Troj/BankAsh-A malware. In March, the portal only recorded 40,000 attempts.

I think I will ride to the bank at lunch, maybe even walk and shed a few extra pounds… who says the Internet helps you become a couch potato?
