Trojan.Win32.Cleaman.aj is a Trojan that is used by cybercriminals to distribute fake chrome updates that follow Google's legitimate release. Cybercriminals use fake updates to trick affected PC users into downloading and installing them on their computers on online websites that pose as being from Google to steal Internet-banking credentials. The bogus update alert directs affected computer users onto a particular website, which uses the legal font of Google and displays Chrome's logo. The dangerous website that spreads Trojan.Win32.Cleaman.aj is connected with BlackHole/ZBot assaults. Cybercriminals attempt to persuade Internet users to download an .exe file named 'Update-Google-Chrome', apparently linked to the banking Trojan called ZeuS, that evidently specifies it's to assure the PC user is protected via the most recent update of the web browser.
