Newbie with Zlob.FC

[TheLitch]

Hello (possiable) helpers.

Im not the best person to figure out diffrent computer errors and so on, but I do know when I get an virus or any other kinde of addware that makes my computer mess up.

Today my virus scanner told me I had been infected by a downloading trojan called Zlob.fc, and I healed it plenty of times but keeps comming back. So I goggled the name and ended up getting ton of hits on diffrent ways of removing it. Sadly it seems im complitly retarded to do some of the guids.

I scanned it with

Qoofix v1.04 (noticed one of your helpers linking it)
CCLeaner (some other site mod told me to use this with some others)
Counterspy (same person as abow)
Spybot - Search & Destroy (same person)
And a few "trial" programs that I honestly didnt feel like spending 29$ for

I know that its quite alot of diffrent programs to be using, but I really want it to be gone so that I wont end up loosing anything valuable by this Virus

My brother helped me sort out how to use the program hijackme (renamed the program as another site mod said that some virus/adware can bypass it) Attached file is from the log

Boot comp

[TheLitch]

Im dling the program you linked as Im writing this, I got a question, what way of starting up your windows are you using, if you write msconfig in run, what havave you choosen. One of the other guids I had been linked to had told me to "Normal start" when I was using "customize start" (keep in minde Im translating from danish :/)

And can I do the part with hijack before I reboot into safe mod `?

[Nuppi]

Yes you can, I did see that yuo have danish windows :)

Yes, yiou can fix those lines before scanning by AVG :)

[TheLitch]

Allright it took a bit longer then expected as my pc had problems getting into safe mode, h ow ever that is fixed now and here are the two reports, hijack first and then spyware as the 2nd file

[Nuppi]

hijackLog is clean. As you see, AVGs raport. Nothing was cleaned. Study instructions and scan again :D


You dont have good firewall. Windows own is not good enough.

Please download one.

[TheLitch]

Just noticed that I had forgot to press the action button as the guid told me to. And if you think Im in need of a firewall, withc one can you personaly suggest ?

[Nuppi]

There are many good free firewalls,

Zone Alarm, Kerio, Outpost ... Try one off those :D
