Its a racket, you have to pay $50/yr in protection money (Norton, etc) to stay safe.
Citadel. Script-kiddie malware. Like Subse7en and other toolkits.
Childs play. Any antivirus will easily pick this up. Or anti-phishing, as is the case here. Citadel relies on people to type in all their information into a page claiming to be legit. Its the rookiest mistake to make online but tons of people fall into it.
Any real hacker can code a /real/ virus though and find a clever way of getting it into your system, bypassing your antivirus, firewall, and anything else you have installed that is giving you a false sense of security, and reap the benefits.
Cyber crime has /always/ been easy if you're willing to work. Its the people not willing to work, downloading a toolkit, and relying on other people's work to wander into a few badly configured systems lacking critical updates or antimalware utilities to make their lives easy, or phish information by simply trying desperately hard to tell people they need to enter their login credentials to not be arrested/abused/called bad names/etc...
