Threats I Found I,n Google Chrome?
« on: April 26, 2016, 08:24:15 PM »
Avast recommends using
the FREE Chrome™ internet browser.

undefinedTrojan-Spy.Win32.Zbot.biwp Trojan-Spy.Win32.Zbot.biwp has a long name and a nefarious intent. Trojan-Spy.Win32.Zbot.biwp is a keylogger Trojan. A keylogger Trojan records the order in which you press the keys on your keyboard, and then a hacker retrieves this information later on. The hope is that you have typed your social security number, credit card number or other personal information. The information is then used to steal your identity or empty your accounts. january  20, 2016

I'm not sure why you have posted this in the SafeZone Browser sub-forum as the SafeZone Browser is based on the chromium base, it isn't Google Chrome.

A security article from January 20th 2016 is pretty old in security terms. Given this is Google Chrome, I would say this is likely a squashed bug now.

The named malware even have nothing to do with a specific browser.
