Torpig, also known as Sinowal (based on Mebroot), is a type of Trojan horse which can affect computers using Microsoft Windows as their operating system. Torpig turns off anti-virus applications, allows others to access the computer, modifies data on the computer, steals confidential information (such as user passwords and other sensitive data) and installs more malware on the victim's computer.
As of November 2008 it has been responsible for stealing the details of about 500,000 online bank accounts and credit and debit cards and is described as "one of the most advanced pieces of crimeware ever created".[1]
