ok, so everytime i click on My Documents, I get a pop-up that says I have been infected by the Zlob Trojan. It wants me to click "continue" to download special software to get rid of it (no chance i'm clicking "okay")
How can I get rid of this? I've run my antivirus in safemode and it didn't detect anything. I also ran Spybot and nothing came up.
Any ideas? 4/5/2008 1:47:06 AM |

try running your antivirus in safe mode. if that doesn't work, run spybot.

i was hoping it would be blatantly obvious that i did indeed read what he wrote, especially with the "i'm an ass" appendage, but it is 3AM. 4/5/2008 2:02:32 AM |

Download Spysweeper with antivirus trial. Go into options and update it and tell it to do a custom sweep for rootkits. Run the sweep in safe mode. Repeat above steps with Spybot Search & Destroy. Problem solved. 4/6/2008 2:39:22 PM |

No, seriously, I've seen SpySweeper remove that exact virus probably a hundred times. Then I would do a Spybot scan too just to make sure. 4/6/2008 10:39:34 PM |
