Zlob.Trojan Vista 64

Hello I'm new here, As the title suggests I have the Zlob Trojan which popped up after I started my computer on the 11th of november 2008. I was only playing Sins of a Solar Empire all day on the 10th and I'm unsure of how I got the trojan.

I'm generally quite safe when using my computer, I use AVG for my antivirus and run spybot once a week. What alerted me to a change was firstly my system clock had changed from then 12 hour clock which I set it to, to a 24 hour. Whilst looking at that I hovered over my network connections to notice I had 3 connections. I only have 1 ethernet port and I also use hamachi so I assumed something wasn't right.

I followed the READ & RUN ME FIRST and followed the vista cleaning procedure but was unable to use combofix and MGtools spammed me with a great deal of messages that it didn't work on my system. Regardless I continued with it.

I have removed the Zlob.Trojan many times and even tried the SmitfraudFix which when I was in safemode select the option for it to clean would spam a large portion of no access (I'm in admin mode) and would just close the window leaving me with nothing except for the black screen and safe mode. It just keeps coming back.

Anyway this is causing me a lot of annoyance and unfortunately I left my Vista64 dvd back at home when I came to uni and wont be able to get it again till christmas. I've hopefully attached the necessary files that I could get a hold of.

It's getting late in England now so I will be sleeping but will do what I can when I wake up to get rid of this pest.

Thanks in advance.

What happens when you try to run ComboFix?

 

Hello bjgarrick,

Firstly thanks for the reply. When I would use Combofix it would have similar no access problems, I find it odd since I am defienetly on the administrator account.

Anyway after a long time of constantly running Spybot S&D, MBAM, SuperAntispyware and Ad-Aware the problem seemed to fix itself.

I don't honestly get why my antivirus didn't pick it up and why after doing it a few times prior it kept coming back but it seems to have gone for good. I done a scan this morning to double check and there was nothing to be found.

 

Just because you're not having obvious problems doesn't mean your system is clean. I would recommend proceeding and finishing the scans and attaching all logs I request. It's up to you but I would recommend it.

 

Well I don't mind at all, I always believe it's better to be safe than sorry.

Let me know what you want me to do and what you need.

 

I would recommend running all of the steps in the READ ME and attaching the requested logs. I will post our initial instructions for a reference.
