- Greediest Trojan targeting banks
Trojan-Banker.Win32.Banker.rqk leads this month, even though it only attacks 26 banks, a relatively low number.
- Greediest Trojan targeting payment systems
In August, a new modification of Backdoor.Win32.Agobot.gen won this category by targeting four payment systems simultaneously.
- Greediest Trojan targeting payment cards
Trojan-Banker.Win32.Banbra.vf targets four payment card systems.

Following last month's victory, the Hupigon family makes another appearance with Backdoor.Win32.Hupigon.nqr – a program packed with seven different packers.
- Smallest malicious program
Trojan.BAR.Tiny.a is a mere 31 bytes in size; it searches the system for applications and runs any it finds.
