Re: trojan horse

Hello Tony, Welcome to TSF! :wave:

That is extremely nasty! :4-thatsba

It is what is referred to as malware.

I recommend that you read this article… "Having problems with spyware and pop-ups? - First Steps"; follow the instructions very carefully; then, post all the requested logs and information; as instructed, in the HiJackThis Log Help Forum.
(Simply, click on the coloured links to be re-directed.)

Please ensure that you create a new thread in the HiJackThis Log Help Forum; not back here in this one.

When carrying out The 5 Steps, if you cannot complete any of them for whatever reason, just continue on with the next one until they are all completed.
However,it is extremely important to make mention of the fact that you could not complete any of the steps in your post to The HJT Help Forum; where an Analyst will assist you with other workarounds.

Once done, please be patient, as the Security Team Analysts are usually very busy; one of them will answer your request as soon as they can.

Good Luck with it.

Kind Regards,

To more directly answer your question

Also known as zlob

It's adware, and attempts to bring in rogue applications, among other things.

Often gets on the system via fake codec install.

Browser Optimizer Ads or similar odd entries in your Add or Remove programs.

I have used avg8.0 and moved it to the virus vault. I did another scan and nothing was found. Thanks.

Cheers, tony007. Thanks for letting us know.

You may want to follow up with an online scan at Kaspersky.

It's a good idea to get another vendor's view of the machine from time to time.
