HI my computer appears to ahve been infected with
zlob.................pc-cillin does not find it howerver, nor does
housecall........

symptoms are popups that take us to a download site for virus removal
software....these pop up all over the place and to close down your have to
click a second pop up to release them.......
I have a flashing security symbol in the right hand corner of the toolbar on
desktop that keeps popping up infomfing me i have spyware and need to
download programs to remove.

I looked zlob up in the wikipedia and follows instructions there to down
load spyhunter.................spyhunter finds at least 20 problems each time
its run, supposedly removes them but the next scan shows almost as
many..........i also followed the manual removal instructions but still have
the security icon in the tray flashing at me...............

spyhunter scan last night showed no infections, cookies
etc...............started up this morning and checked the bank and now i hvae
bloody zlob showing again........

Is it as dangerous as it sounds????

Can someone please help me remove it????? a program that is trustworthy or a
mnaual way to delete????

I also used an online scan of avg as suggested but that showed
nothing........................very confused................comp is
definatley doing some strange stuff but half the virus scans i used have
found nothing and spyhunter finds well over 20 each time
usually.................even after manual removal.

PLEASE help if you can???

THanks

Zoe
 
Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
