Downloader.Zlob.aus

First off, I am rather computer-illiterate I tried to get rid of this virus myself by reading through a few forums that came up on Google, but no luck.

I have AVG anti-virus but it cannot delete/quarantine downloader.zlob.aus.

Any help in removing this virus would be appreciated

G'Day and welcome to the forum, since I see both a HJT log and the results of Panda ActiveScan I will assume you must have read this information:

If the top of your HJT log shows:

Update Your Windows XP.
You are currently using an unpatched version of Windows XP.
Before attempting to remove malware, it is CRITICAL that you update to Service Pack 1a.
Get SP1a here : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp1/default.mspx
You should also get SP2, but NOT NOW, rather only after your machine is clean.
After updating your Windows to SP1a, post a new HijackThis log please, using the Post Reply button.

I have AVG anti-virus but it cannot delete/quarantine downloader.zlob.aus.

C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5\ <<< this is not an antivirus program, but you sure need one installed, almost as bad as you need those Windows Updates. You can get it free here:
