Quote from BBC site:
"Security experts are warning about a stealthy Windows virus that steals login details for online bank accounts.In the last month, the malicious program has racked up about 5,000 victims - most of whom are in Europe.
Many are falling victim via booby-trapped websites that use vulnerabilities in Microsoft's browser to install the attack code.
Experts say the virus is dangerous because it buries itself deep inside Windows to avoid detection. "

Quite worrying... They mention another website with a specific rootkit checker.
Quote: "Independent security firm GMER has produced a utility that will scan and remove the stealthy program."
Anyone tried this programme yet? I would imagine that if you have a fully updated system (Windows Updates, Virus Checker, Adware etc) you should be fine.

Nothing more scary than the ideal that someone could steal you log in information and take all your cash from your bank account.
