We have that infernal Zlob trojan,
nothing else seems to remove it,
maybe we need to reload Windows?

Thanks.

Reloading Windows with a clean install is the for sure way. Or you can
spend hours fighting with it and not knowing if there is anything else
that the apps you've used haven't detected.

If the Restore Point not infected then you can.
Try and then run a scan and see if it all clear or still lurking and
infecting your restore points too.

Meaning some viruses will not start to be destructive from the start of its
being loaded and excuted on the User machine.
Ex..Password stealers, Pop-Up/marketing Trojans (fake alert)/StartUp page,
Trojan dropper..etc
These viruses patterns not destructive at first, but rather resident program
sending data (Commands/Data packets) from and to the user machine to the
intruder server !!!

Yes, these types of malware do NOT want to give themselves away. They want to keep
performing their respective payload as long as possible.

However, how doe that tie-in with the system restore Cache ?

Ignore any posts made by the Stalker Leythos, he's still in love with me.
He started stalking me after I spurned his advances towards me.
He said he would stop Stalking me If I stopped mentioning his name.
As you can see that does not work. He is a sick obsessive STALKER.

Re: Can Zlob be removed by using a restore point?



Just a FYI

I tried numerous times for system restore, employing differing dates,
the process went thorough to reboot, then a pop up screen
arrived saying it could not restore and that nothing had changed.
I guess the trojan is responsible.

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting
directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to
pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST
Block list, and who provides a tool for your use that will block access
to reputable anti-malware sites without telling you he's doing it?

And do you really want to trust someone that has had to change their
posting identity after being busted by MS as a fake MVP?

Stalking, even in usenet is a crime, there are enough pages from your
filthy site to prove you're stalking me in your posts, I have them
documented and certified authentic - it's your call now Stalker.

By now you could have reinstalled XP. That's what I would do.

No. It is not the Trojan's fault.

If you *must* do a system restore, I suggest performing it in Safe Mode.
Doing it in Safe Mode has a greater chance that it will succeed.

Re: Can Zlob be removed by using a restore point?

Thank you David,
I hadn't considered that,
I give it a go.

Its either that or reload windows,
I deleted something along the way (maybe Vista drive.exe)
and I have lost my quick launch bar icons.

Re: Can Zlob be removed by using a restore point?


Restore failed in safe mode on 4 dates.
It would run through to reboot, as soon a I typed
in the administrators password, the fail pop up screen arrived.

I found the quick launch bar.
