Greediest Trojan targeting banks - in May, this title went to Trojan-Spy.Win32.Banker.aqu, a modification that targets 87 banks simultaneously.
Greediest Trojan targeting e-payment systems – this month's glutton is Trojan-PSW.Win32.VB.kq, which targets four e-payment systems.
Greediest Trojan targeting payment cards - Trojan-PSW.Win32.VB.kq wins the prize in this category; it targets four payment card systems, and interestingly also targets e-payment systems (see the above category).
Stealthiest malicious program – once again, it's a Hupigon variant winning out in this category. Backdoor.Win32.Hupigon.rc is packed ten times with a whole range of packers. Nevertheless, this didn't save the backdoor from detection.
Smallest malicious program - this prize goes to a tiny little program weighing in at a mere 9 bytes. Despite its very compact size, Trojan.DOS.DiskEraser.b is smart enough to delete data from disk.
Biggest malicious program - Trojan.Win32.KillFiles.ki was the most space-hungry malicious program in May. This file-deleting Trojan weighs in at a whopping 247MB. Interestingly enough, both May’s smallest and largest programs have the same malicious payload - but the difference in size is remarkable.
Most malicious program - the leader in this category in May is Backdoor.Win32.Agobot.afy, which deletes antivirus programs using a variety of methods.
Most common malicious program in email traffic - this title went to Email-Worm.Win32.Netsky.t this May. Despite being an old-timer, this worm is still causing major damage, accounting for over 15% of all malicious email traffic in May 2007.
Most common Trojan family - the winner of this category this month is the Backdoor.Win32.Rbot family, with 454 modifications in the course of just one month.
Most common virus/worm family - the Warezov family once again took this title this month. A total of 78 different variants of the Warezov family were detected in May, up from 72 in April.
