Spyware's getting worse!

I'm not familiar with this malware you all are getting, but I'm curious: do any variations of that malware have additional spyware components attached to them?

For example, could they also have possibly installed an exploit or rootkit (to gain remote access), keylogger, screengrabber (to capture screenshots of bank account numbers), etc?

Even though you removed the malware, there may still be a slight chance that additional nasties got installed? (rootkits are very hard to discover for example)
 
My brother opened this nonsense up on the family computer. It took him a whole day to fix it. Ugh.

Glad I have a Mac right now.
