Win32.Zlob trojan downloader

[Voando]

I ran Spybot and it found SpyHunter, in red, with 4 entries. I fixed the problem. Reran Spybot and all is clear.

Then I ran the HJT......log is posted below.

Last night, for my own curiosity, i ran Kaspersky.....and there were 3-4 items that showed up..the Win32.Zlob trojan downloader. I saved the log and will send if requested.

One thing that has been happening the last several days is that my System Guard on MacAfee keeps getting dissabled frequently.

Any help is appreciated....

Welcome to Safer Networking, I wish to be sure you have viewed and understand this information.
"BEFORE you POST" (READ this Procedure before Requesting Assistance)

All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

We might have to dig around a bit, not a lot showing in the HJT log. Let's start like this.

Here is a little information about the folks who are responsible for Spyhunter:
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/viewtopic.php?t=24810
http://www.castlecops.com/t187654-free_spyware_scwnload_a013_com_unknown_questionable.html

1) Get this junk off your computer, you may find it in Add Remove Programs
O9 - Extra button: PalTalk - {4EAFEF58-EEFA-4116-983D-03B49BCBFFFE} - C:\Program Files\Paltalk Messenger\Paltalk.exe
See this: http://www.superadblocker.com/definition/palstart/
Description of PALSTART.EXE

PalTalk is an IM client that is advertising supported. It may not be harmful to have on your computer, but it will serve various types of advertising.
Adware applications, toolbars and browser extensions may serve advertisements even while you are not surfing the Internet.
This application may serve various types of advertising, not limited to pop-up ads.

2) I need to see what Kaspersky has found, you can post the header showing what it found and just the infected items if you can handle that, if not let me know and I will post my directions to run a new scan.

3)
One thing that has been happening the last several days is that my System Guard on MacAfee keeps getting dissabled frequently.
No more information than that? Nothing to say why or what is causing it?
You might want to check with McAfee, they may want you to do a new installation?

Let's start with that much information, add any additional comments you think will help.

Thanks

[Voando]

here is the kaspersky report with the infected items only.....

Paltalk is a program i subscribe to....and without subscribing i would get all the pop upsa and banners, etc.....i don't get any of that junk....ive been with them for 9 yrs....never had a problem with them.

Paltalk is a program i subscribe to
It's your computer, I don't run it and won't and I get no banners or popups.
http://research.sunbelt-software.com/threatdisplay.aspx?name=Paltalk&threatid=9494

Open Spybot S&D then click "Help" at the top, then click About. Post for me the version of Spybot S&D you are running and just under it post the Latest detection update.

Everything Kaspersky Online Scan (KOS) located was infected System Restore files, clean those like this:
Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

Reboot

Turn ON System Restore,
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

It's unlikely KOS missed anything, but since the infection in SR was this:
Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Zlob.meq

Let's ask MBAM to take a look:

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your Desktop
http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe

* Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform FULL SCAN, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt
* Please post contents of that file in your next reply.

Post the information from SPYBOT S&D also.

Thanks
