   I am a computer tech. I have had several pc's in the last 3 days that are infected with the zlob downloader virus for the second and some third time. Seems to keep slipping through TrendMicro, AVG, Spysweeper, and Spyware doctor. Where can this be coming from. All of these units have firewall, and active x controls set to the correct protection.
   
   Any suggestion on the source appreciated.

   It can come from many places. One of the most frequent place is when people download codecs to view video type files. Thus having an antivirus or firewall in place is not going to help when the user is the one downloading and installing the malware. Most users will even approve/allow the programs to have access thru their firewall since they just installed it.
