zlob.dnschanger malware

i dont know how i got this virus, but it is extremly annoying. i have like vimax ad everywhere. i've used spybot and its still there. ive did the safe mode method with SmitfraudFix and its still there. i really need help with this annoying zlob.dnschanger. My comp is windows vista.

heres my HJT log:

• Edit by bjgarrick: Inline HJT log removed. READ & RUN ME sticky not followed.

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

• READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

• 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.

Notes:

1. If you run into problems trying to run theREAD & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run 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.

 

i got rid of zlob.dnschanger by using the SmitfraudFix method in safe mode. But now whenever i reboot windows vista, zlob.dnschanger comes back. I can use spybot to fix the problem and zlob.dnschanger would be deleted but once i restart, it comes back. Some people mentioned that zlob.dnschanger can run through one computer to another if the comp share the same router? is that true? i'm still working on the read & run me first, so i'll get back to you on that.

 

Anything is possible with malware.

Follow the instructions in my previous post and attach the requested logs.

 

I did all the steps and i still have that zlob.dnschanger. For some odd reason Superantispyware didnt pick up any infections but spybot and malwarebyte did. I did not have any logs for Superantispyware but i inserted the two other logs from combo and malwarebyte.

and my internet protocol is already set at Obtain DNS server automatically.

 

I need one more set of logs, go back to the READ ME and download MGTools. After running this tool, attach the requested log so we can proceed.

 

i've did all the steps again and zlob.dnschanger is still in my comp. one of my friend told me to reset my router and for some odd reason zlob disappeared. i scanned with search & destroy and it said i didnt have any viruses and the vimax pills ad went away for good! this was very odd! i've now installed comodo firewall and AVG to help me prevent another malware.

thanks for the help though, you guys helped me a lot.

 

Just because you're not having any obvious symptoms doesn't mean your system is clean. I would recommend your following instructions and attaching the requested logs so we can confirm your system is clean. It's up to you but I would recommend it.
