Hi
My sons PC
When I boot it up a small window pops up on the right side of the taskbar
with " Download a spyware "
I do a scan with Lavasoft Adware 6 and Quarantined 9 items. In the middle of
the scanning a window pops up with "Virus Alert and says 'ZLOP.CL in System
32'
I then do a scan with Grisoft AVG Free Edition and send the virus to the
Vault.
This obviously does not get rid of the virus because when I enter an URL in
the address bar of the IE .For example if I type in www.google.co.uk it
quickly turns into www.dns404.net and the little window pops up again in the
right hand side of the taskbar with "Download a spy ware" If I click on this
then different spyware programme try's to upload.
What is the remedy please.

Your computer is not clean. Go through the following malware removal
steps systematically:

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

I would start by scanning with either Sysclean (links and information at
site above) or Dave Lipman's Multi-AV:
http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm

Scans must be done with updated tools in Safe Mode.

Ad-aware 6 is no longer supported nor updated and it is way ot of date !
It needs to be removed and replac ed with the Ad-aware SE v1.06 (soon to be replaced by
Ad-aware 2006).


For non-viral malware...

Please download, install and update the following software...

* Ad-aware SE v1.06
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

* SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/

After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.

I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.

* BHODemon
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm

http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=3550&file=11&evp=245a87539eea8ed6904332b4b8b8442d

For viral malware...

* Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm


* * * Please report back your results * * *
