Warning.

[fantail]

Can i just warn people about a nasty trojan called "zlob" going about.

i have been hit myself. I am on a laptop at the moment as this nasty trojan truly messed up my desk top. its in shop being sorted out.

It by passes firewalls antivirus ect.
Its a Scam trojan as well, i got it from google. didnt think nothing of it, as none of my firewalls or Avg at the time picked it up.
So just like to warn people to be careful. it hijacks your browser, and then you get a False page sayin.

I.E Critical Updates needed. Microsoft explorer.
Please ignore it.
if you google in Zlob trojan you can see how much damage it can do.
I have to pay £69 to get my comp fixed. i cant do nothing with the comp as this trojan as complelty frozen it.
So i thought i let you people on the forum know, so you dont get caught.
Hopefully i have the comp back tomorrow.
Regards
Cass..

It's an old one, from 2005. I think there are a few removal tools available, provided that you computer is still functional.

I'm very familiar with Zlob... ugh... got hit by it in Dec of last year. Had to reinstall a bunch of stuff, but in the end everything came out ok... had me seriously concerned for a while, though! I want to say it took me a week or two to get it figured out! Finding a removal tool was tough. I know I tried a few different manual fixes, but I think Spyhunter's antivirus software was the one that ended up being able to find it. I was using McAfee's antivirus and firewall and it didn't even recognize that there was a trojan. I'm now running McAfee & Spyhunter. So far I'm liking Spyhunter. Good luck Stephanie!
