No possibility to remove Zlob.ZipCodec via Spybot

Hi guys,

i have a huge problem. I run Spybot several times to scan my system and it always detected the trojan Zlob.ZipCodec right at the end of the search. Then the program stops going on and there is no chance to remove the trojan. It just stops at this point. Is there any chance to solve this problem and get rid of the trojan?

Thanks for any help!

Hello McEule, :welcome:

The result of the scan shows Zlob as flagged on the computer or the scan freezes on Zlob?

Best regards.
 
Unfortunetly, the scan freezes and I have to stop the scanning process (waited for about 3 hours until I stopped it and tried it several times).
 
Hi McEule,

There are a few topics about the scan freezing on Zlob, I will reach out to the team on this.

Best regards.
 
Windows 10 first installation

I have the same problem. Spybot ran all night but was still stuck on Zlob.ZipCodec!
 
Add me to the list

I would like to add me to the list. This has been going on since before the holidays.
Symptoms - Scan just runs forever stuck at win32.... have left it running overnight still same. Can quit but never completes.
Settings tool in Advanced mode - acts as if launching but never launches.
Startup tool starts but hangs at opening page and is immediately and forever in a state of Not Responding when close it will close after asking to close or wait and then gathering microsoft data about crash.
I have uninstalled, re-installed to new drive and directory - same results.
Immunization will work but with 193 files still not immunized.
Rootkit scan will complete fine with lists of unknown ADS and those are mostly a couple of games which I have since deleted.

Systems the same even in safe mode, safe mode with network, w/o network, limited gui etc various options under msconfig boot and startup options.
I have disable other antivirus / protection (using F-Secure), have run F-Secure scans - nothing - including running their online scan rather than local scan. But have had both products for years and never had a problem until now.

I have donated before but do not need the anti-virus features - I am pretty sure either there is a problem with the program files or malware targeting spybot but I am unable to isolate to which.
 
Zlob

I am also having the same problem! Please help! PLUS my "settings" will not open and the startup tools times out (not responding).
 
ZLOB and Settings

I am also having the same issue with the scan not moving past ZLOB and settings will not open. I have noticed that SDSETTINGS in Task Manager is using 50% CPU and stays that way until you end the task, no matter how long it runs.

I am running Win 10 pro 64 bit, version 1511.
 
Zlob.ZipCodec

This also has me stumped. Please help! I have a grumpy 86 year old dad who is stumped by this on his computer as well. (Yes he is amazingly computer savvy!) Looking for HELP! As with others I have tried to scan, several times, and it quits progressing once it hits the "Zlob.ZipCodec". I have tried several times It doesn't matter how long. It seems to hang up in a loop. :hair:
 
Hi,

Have been a SpyBot user for many years, I now get the same issue.

Have tried multiple times, also safe mode. No difference, doesn't complete (have even waiting an hour).

Please get this resolved!
