I can't find the sticky post the mods left up about BadTrans so...
TechTV.com has recently released this information about the BadTrans virus:
The executable file Badtrans installs consists of a key logger that can record account numbers and passwords. Keystroke loggers record every detail of a computing session -- literally every key that is typed.
For example, a logger could record a user's online banking account number and password. In the case of Badtrans, the program then emails the logged data back to the virus writer or attacker at a myriad of anonymous email accounts.
Symantec has finally released a "removal tool" for the BadTrans virus

The W32.Badtrans.B@mm Removal Tool does the following:
1. Terminates all the viral W32.Badtrans.B@mm processes.
2. Deletes any W32.Badtrans.B@mm executable files.
