Hi.
Another new member in a slightly strange world!
I have just picked up Win32.Agent.pz and Win32.zbot. As far as I know I got them from a hotel wireless network accessing my normal online email account or towns to visit - I was on holiday in France.
Spybot scan showed I have 3 of both and "Did I want to remove them?" - YES!
I haven't seen any untoward activity on my notebook - Dell Vostro 1510, XP Pro SP3, Spybot, AdAware, AVG Free (no indication here at all).
In the registry I find I have userinit.exe and other entries that I understand are related to these worms.
My questions are:
1. Did Spybot remove everything connected to these or is there something that I have to do.
2. How did I get them?
3. What do they do/are they doing?
4. Should I try one of the programmes that come up in a Google search to remove these?
Look forward to some help!
Thanks
