    I have Windows XP, DELL Dimension 8400

    I believe I may have the Oblivion Trojan. Or some trojan of the source. It doesn't seem that either Trend Micro PC-cillin is picking it up or either Ad-aware.

    I first came upon this suspicion when I was trying to delete programs I hardly ever use. So I decided to delete Oblivion (The game) It wouldn't seem to delete at all. I got a error message that said.

    -----------------------------

    >SetupDLL/SetupDLL.cpp(390)
    PAPP:Oblivion
    PVENDOR:Bethesda Softworks (http://www.bethsoft.com)
    PGUID:35CB6715-41F8-4F99-8881-6FC75BF054B0
    $11.0.0.28844
    @Windows Service Pack 3 (2600) IE. 7.0.6000.16705

    -------------------------

    Then after I press OK I get another Message saying:
    (Stuff in the brackets were not in the message for the following one)
    -------------------------

    InstallShield Wizard (In the blue bar atop)
    (With a big 'X' in a red circle on the side)

    Setup has experienced a error.

    Please do the following:
    -Close any Running programs (Done that)
    -Empty your Temporary Files (Done that)
    -Check your Internet Connection (Done that)

    Then try to run set up again

    Error Code: -5001

    ------------------------------

    After that I simply went into Program files and looked for the Oblivion file folder to delete it. But thats odd, it was hidden. I had to go in through search to find it. After I deleted it that way, I went back to ADD/REMOVE programs. The Oblivion file is still there, its just a bit smaller in size and no longer has the Oblivion game logo.

    Researching the possible virus, I dont have ZipLoader32.exe that can be found in the Registry Editor under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    As apparently some say that ZipLoader32.exe is the backdoor.Oblivion.

    --------On a side note, I have been getting serious trojans and virus's frequently in the past 2 months which results in file curruption. I have though resorted to the use of completly erasing my system. I dont download pirated music, programs, pornography or anything that could become potentually harmful to my PC.

    Also to add, I am not saying that Oblivion the game (even though I believe it attached to the game) has a trojan, but that there is a trojan listed out there called Oblivion.

    Also, AVG doesn't catch it either.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.


    If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.

    Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

    Note:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

    Starting your computer in Safe mode

    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
