    Talking Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Zlob.meq and colleagues

    Each time I restart my computer, my avast keeps saying that I've been infected by a BV:Malware-gen, and it is unable to remove it.
    Here is my Kaspersky scan:

    Hi


    Disable Spybot's TeaTimer
    • Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode
    • If it is not already set to do this, go to the Mode menu
      select
      Advanced Mode
    • On the left hand side, click on Tools
    • Then click on the Resident icon in the list
    • Uncheck
      Resident TeaTimer
      and OK any prompts.
    • Restart your computer


    Download
    SDFix
    and save it to your desktop. (If you can't download with this computer try to get it downloaded on some other one.)

    Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the
    following :
    • Restart your computer
    • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the
      Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
    • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
    • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press
      Enter
      .
    • Choose your usual account.
    • In Safe Mode, double click the SDFix.exe file. Click Install in appearing window,
    • Open the extracted folder and double click RunThis.bat to
      start the script.
    • Type Y to begin the script.
    • It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the
      registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
    • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
    • Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool
      will be running and removing files.
    • When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and
      display Finished, then press any key to end the script and load
      your desktop icons.
    • Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the
      contents of the results file Report.txt back onto the forum with
      a new HijackThis log

    Thanks for responding to me Blade,
    I forgot to mention that I ran S&D in safe mode after I posted the kaspersky and hjt logs above, and I removed all the problems it found successfully.

    Hi

    Start hjt, do a system scan, check:
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PC-Antispyware] "C:\Program Files\PC-Antispyware\PC-Antispyware.exe" hide

    Close browsers and fix checked.

    Delete following folder if found:
    C:\Program Files\PC-Antispyware

    Reboot and post a fresh hjt log. How's the system running?

    Hi.

    Before I did the anti-malware scan, Avast no longer alerted us to the presence of any virus, but I still received a pop-up window saying our computer may be infected with spywares, and we should click some link to get some crappy product....I just x-ed out of it. After the anti-malware scan and fixes, however, we have not experienced any such alerts.

    Here is my HJT log:

      • Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.

    • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For more info, check this webpage out.
      See here to choose one



    Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
    UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
    Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
    Run the spybot and adaware regularly. (Once or twice a week minimum.)
    Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.



    Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

    Have a great day,
