From HandWiki
Kenzero is a computer virus that is spread across peer-to-peer networks and is programmed to monitor the browsing history of victims. [1]
History
The Kenzero virus was first discovered on the November 27, 2009, but researchers think it went undetected for a few months prior to the initial discovery.[2]
