Virtumonde & Zlob Infections

[MitchSC]

I visited a site today and received a virus warning from my CA 2007 Security Suite. It appeared at first that the virus software blocked the infection.

I ran a full virus scan and then a SpyBot scan. Spybot found some pests which I removed.

I re-ran the scan and noticed a long lag time near the end of the scan with lots of files called Virtumonde.sdn, and then Zlob.Downloads.

But the SpyBot scan came up clean. After doing some research it appears that these 2 names are malware, but Spybot has not removed them.

I haven't yet noticed any unusual behavior by my PC. But after reading all the various posts on these 2 pests, it sounds like it may be a serious threat.

The procedures I've read are varied and sound quite complicated.

I am running Windows XP Home SP3

Questions:
1) Are Virtumonde.sdn, and Zlob.Downloads threats?
2) Can SpyBot remove them?
3) What is the procedure

Thanks very much...

Hello,


3) What is the procedure


"BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)

If you would like one of our volunteer analysts to take a look at the system please produce a HJT log and copy paste it into a new topic. :)

Best regards.
