HELP!! -- my computer has been taken over by the Zlob trojan and I have spent all day trying to get rid of it to no avail. I am running win xp home and norton antivirus 07 (the scan said it deleted it, but its still there), pentium4 asus procesor 512 ram. Please please help me!

I had a similar problem and used Process Explorer Nt which was on a recent PCWorld cover disk or can be downloaded at http://www.download3k.com/Install-Process-Explorer.html
Your problem is that although you delete the program it is already running so it reloads itself. this program shows you the programs running and if you right click on the offender you can choose to kill it. then you delete the files and if lucky like me, all is well

Re: ZLOB Trojan
Users of this forum do seem to have problems with Trojans from time to time and I'm curious as to why. Is it a lack of protection or the dark alleys of the web that they venture into?
I'm an average user of moderate knowledge and five years home computer experience and aside from one or two Trojans back in my early days I never have those problems today and I wonder why, when other people do from time to time?
Interestingly, the Trojans that ever plagued me early on got through the Norton A/V that came with my computer, and also through the McAfee A/V that I subsequently replaced it with. Nowadays I use the free AVG-7, ZoneAlarm and Spybot Resident and I seem to be consistently problem free, aside from the occasional piece of spyware that the (also free) AVG Anti-Spyware or Ad-Aware take care of. So am I just lucky, is my protection adequate and effective without the need for expensive and problematic programs like Norton A/V, or is it just prudent and careful web surfing?
Paul.
Re: ZLOB Trojan
Try turning off Restore then delete the offending trojan, it is possible to be in your restore point which backs up your pc and will restore a virus on reboot, once you have
cleared the virus turn restore back on
