Win32/Spy.Odlanor has been designed to send information about the data, hands, games of a poker player. With the hackers knowing what cards the player is holding, they can easily bust him or take control of the poker account.

According to ESET the Trojan is most often downloaded with free, infected software such as Daemon Tools and cracked versions of poker softwares like Tournament Shark, Poker Calculator Pro, Smart Buddy and Poker Office.

ESET also claimed that there are already new versions of the Trojan that can hide from antivirus software.

Be sure to always have up to date antivirus programs and always buy your poker softwares from the official website to avoid spyware/malware.
