the Trojan...installs itself as an Internet Explorer helper objectAnd can most likely be avoided by using an alternative browser:
Opera
Mozilla
Also, WinPatrol, and, I believe, Spybot - Search & Destroys' Teatimer, both offer protection against installation of unwanted BHOs.

Websense confirmed the new technique's effectiveness by infecting a system with the Trojan, then entering account information into the SSL-protected Deutsche Bank Web site. As expected, the Trojan captured the information and sent an ICMP ping to a malicious remote server. why would they disclose this? this should have been given to the FBI or CIA, they could have tracked it down and busted the person behind it...

If it's pinging a server they should be able to do a traceroute on it and find out where it is.
I'd love to catch one of these guys, just once.
