What does the PennyStockChaser trojan do?

[Jpif]

Said I had it when I did a virus scan. What does this trojan do? Do trojans usually try to gain personal information and passwords, or just harm your computer?

Hard to say as Antivirus companies dont name the viruses the same, the best you could do is see if anyone on this forum knows or try and search the net for info on it although be careful as I wouldn't want you to come across something worse in your pursuit of knowledge

if you want to double check your machine to be on the safe side try malwarebytes or superantispyware although if it said it caught it you should be fine
