The UK has a "two week period" to protect itself from a major computer virus that could give hackers access to sensitive information - costing the country millions of pounds, the National Crime Agency has said.
Around 1 million computers globally have already been infected by the new malware, FBI said.
Roughly 25% of the computers are located in the US, with around 15,500 hit in the UK.
The FBI said the malware, known as GameOver Zeus, has helped hackers wipe out hundreds of millions of dollars from accounts around the world.
Computer users are constantly being told to change passwords and update software due to the latest "Trojan" or "Bot" - but what are they?
The malware, called GOZeuS is hiding within email attachments, and once downloaded will enable hackers to mine infected computers.
