Zlob
« on: April 02, 2010, 02:03:57 am »
yep, I got it >:(....I was hit with mirar, and after all the usual stuff, got it out, with the help of malwarebytes and SpyBot S&D. But I also ran another program Spyware Hunter, which informed me I had the Zlob Trojan too. As I already have several malware programs at my disposal already I did not bother to purchase the Spyware Hunter as not sure whether false positive at the time. 

After reading up on all the processes and dlls, many of which I have yet to locate, I managed to get what I consider to be a good part of it out. However I still have msmsgs.exe on my start configuration, which I have since disabled.

But, I had AVG installed it did not detect anything. My current program Norton Security Suite is not detecting anything. Malwarebytes which I still have installed by the way, isnt detecting anything, but yesterday, I was downloading a picture from my email a friend sent me, but when I opened it a jpeg of my system info popped up too...totally freaking me out...possbly being hacked...

Anyway, Im really open to suggestions at this point. I dont want to really have to a recovery, as I just replaced the hardrive about a week ago and just about have everything I had reloaded...It just takes too damn long.

msmsgs.exe is to do with MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger.

Did you have Windows Live Messenger set to "Automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I log on to Windows"?
