Hi im new to here and not sure how do things. I recently acquired this Zlob DNS Changer Trojan and i cant rid of it. Im really tearing my hair out. I have tried a few things other people have tried in the forum but i still have it. Ive tried spybot and it says it fixed the problem but it is still there. Please is there anyone other that can help me. I just got this computer and Ive had nothing but grief. Thank you to whoever replies.
 
Hi terrieburt504

Click here to download HJTInstall.exe
  • Save HJTInstall.exe to your desktop.
  • Doubleclick on the HJTInstall.exe icon on your desktop.
  • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis .
  • Click on Install.
  • It will create a HijackThis icon on the desktop.
  • Once installed, it will launch Hijackthis.
  • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
  • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
  • Come back here to this thread and Paste the log in your next reply.
  • DO NOT use the AnalyseThis button, its findings are dangerous if misinterpreted.
  • DO NOT have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
 
Hi its Terrie again here is the the files you requested. Not sure what any of them mean but maybe you can figure out what is wrong with this thing. I would like to try and fix the problem before i resort to just wiping the hard drive and starting over again.

Let's try this:

We need first to disable TeaTimer that it doesn't interfere with fixes. You can re-enable it when you're clean again:

1. Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
2. If it is not already set to do this Go to the Mode menu select "Advanced Mode"
3. On the left hand side, Click on Tools
4. Then click on the Resident Icon in the List
5. Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
6. Restart your computer.

Now re-scan with spybot and tell me if it still comes back.
 
hey just wondering if i should try and do the fix problem step. then try reboot again and redo another scan and see if it comes back
 
Likely Teatimer restores it anyway.

1. Uninstall spybot
2. Reboot.
3. Reinstall spybot (don't enable Teatimer)
4. Run a scan with spybot. If it found something, fix it and run another scan with it.

Let me know if it still finds something.
 
k did all that said that the problem was there. I fixed the problems and ran another scan and said no immediate threats were found. Do you think that it is gone now?

Yes, that is possible.

However, let's run one scan to be sure.

Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.

Note: If you are using Windows Vista, open your browser by right-clicking on its icon and select 'Run as administrator' to perform this scan.

  1. Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
  2. It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
  3. When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
  4. Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
    • Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
      Archives
  5. Click on My Computer under Scan.
  6. Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
  7. You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As....
  8. Save this report to a convenient place. Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt) before clicking on the Save button.
  9. Please post this log in your next reply along with a fresh HijackThis log.

If you need a tutorial, see here
 
Did you do this?

Note: If you are using Windows Vista, open your browser by right-clicking on its icon and select 'Run as administrator' to perform this scan.
 
Thanks for information.

Please run this instead:

Please go to Eset website to perform an online scan. Please use Internet Explorer as it uses ActiveX.

  1. Check (tick) this box: YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
  2. Click on the Start button next to it.
  3. When prompted to run ActiveX. click Yes.
  4. You will be asked to install an ActiveX. Click Install.
  5. Once installed, the scanner will be initialized.
  6. After the scanner is initialized, click Start.
  7. Uncheck (untick) Remove found threats box.
  8. Check (tick) Scan unwanted applications.
  9. Click on Scan.
  10. It will start scanning. Please be patient.
  11. Once the scan is done, you will find a log in C:\Program Files\esetonlinescanner\log.txt. Please post this log in your next reply.
