"Ramnit" the worm with multifaceted spreading capabilities,first detected on 2010 for infecting local systems. Now the hackers behind it have redesigned it into a more advanced kind of worm.The worm has already stolen 45000 facebook credentials and still on move.
It is also confirmed that this worm is able to bypass the two level authentication used by banking organizations and online money transfer.Below I have taken the snapshot of the code of the worm that was detected in 2010.
It comes from online malicious sources and creates infected .html files through that it infects the executable and .dll files. As,depicted in the video below.
But as the worm has spread its root to financial and social media so it a big concern.Users are advised to change there credentials in every 14 days.
As you said it is always better to change the credentials for every 2 weeks.. rather than this it is better to install and run a good antivirus program in your computer, which helps and ensures the security..
@Jai Yes the anti-virus option cannot be omitted....but there are few techniques using which your keystrokes can be stolen as most of the anti-virus can be bypassed.
So,I would suggest Good Anti-virus + Password change.....
I don't really know how anyone can live without an anti-virus. I have had a time when I also didn't have an antivirus, but back then viruses were harder to catch and I was behind a firewall. Today I can't even think about using my computer without one.
Also, the idea about changing the password is also very good..I change mine every month or so and things are fine for the moment.

But still then you cannot ensure 100% security.
Thanks for the comment. :)
