The Zlob Trojan is not good stuff to have. This spyware software starts automatically when Windows boots and then goes out and downloads and installs many other malware programs and Trojans onto the users system. Some of the most common programs this virus downloads are Winantiviruspro 2008, winfixer, sysprotect and about a hundred other malisous software suits.

Zlob has many different versions such as w32 zlob aig, zlob downloader vdt, zlob am and zlob downloader vcd. There are many more but you get the point. It is important to remove the Zlob spyware as soon as you find out you are infected.

How did I get infected?

The most common reason for infections are two fold. The first is you did not have proper protection in the first place. Having only anti-virus software is not good enough any more. You need anti-spyware software as well, and before you say well I have anti-spyware software I need to stress that if it’s free then NO you do not have the right protection. You get what you pay for after all. The number one reason for infection is via a fake video codec. Basically you went to a site and clicked on a link to download a codec to watch a video. When you did that the codec actually was spyware and now you are infected. Just going to a website can cause issues if you do not have proper protection.

Zlob Removal

Zlob Removal is not hard when you have the right tools. You can go out to your local store and buy anti-spyware protection or buy it online. We recommend Spyware Doctor as is will fully remove this spyware threat. If you do not have anti-virus software or if it is just a free junk scanner then consider PCtools IS as it has a firewall, Virus protection and Spyware Doctor all in one.

If you have already purchased some other software or just don’t want to deal with this then call a pro to come over and fix the system for you. Yes it will run you a few hundred but for some it is well worth it. You can also have someone else do the Zlob Removal online as well.
