Does anyone know how to remove the Zlob DNSChanger Trojan virus ? I run on Firefox 3, XP Home.
Symptoms: 1) When clicking the Firefox icon at the start of a session I get a page load error/redirect loop page, this is cured by repeating the process. 2) Typing some web addresses into Google I get redirected to a site I did not ask for, again cured by repeating the process. 3) A blank Firefox advertisement page. 4) This afternoon, myself and my son on his pc (same house, same Netgear router, same ISP) in the house could not get a website up at all. This was cured by a phone call to our ISP Tiscali who gave us new DNS numbers for the primary and secondary. My son’s pc
(Vista OS) has accepted these new numbers, my pc has not ! Not lol ! I assume because of the Zlob virus.
I ran my Mcafee anti-virus and it found nothing. Then I ran the Spybot, that found the Zlob but could not remove it. Then the frustrating part…I ran the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool Oct 2008, this found 2 infected files, but the scan was aborted (we tried twice) part way through by drwatson error messages saying it had encountered a problem. And the Windows error message saying the malicious software removal tool has encountered a problem and needs to close. It is of course my guess it was aborted because of the Zlob virus !
Help anyone please ?
