Description: ZLOB Trojan is an advertising trojan that often masquerades as a media codec. Zlob Trojan installs secretly and starts generating pop-ups on the infected computer. Often, these pop-ups claim that the user's computer is infected and recommend a rogue product to remove the infection. Lately, ZLOB Trojan has been promoting several questionable anti-spyware products, among which are Virus Blast, Virus Burst, Virus Burster, Spy Heal, The SpyGuard, System Doctor, SpywareStrike, SpyAxe, SpyTrooper, Malware Wipe, Adware Punisher, ProtectionBar and Spy iBlock. ZLOB Trojan also generates warning messages that can look like system messages (see sample below), and these messages direct users to install the fake anti-spyware products from this list of websites. It is highly recommended to remove this trojan as it does transfer back and forth information from the infected computer which makes it a potential for data theft.
Backdoor - A Backdoor is an undocumented or secret means that can be used to obtain unauthorized access to your computer, or a malicious program that uses such a means to penetrate a computer system. Backdoor applications exploit vulnerabilities of installed programs or operating system and allow attackers to gain control over your computer system. Backdoor works in the background and hides from the user. It is always a high security risk.
Downloader - A Downloader is a software application or part of the program which is designed to retrieve (download) and install additional files from the Internet. Malware programs often include Downloaders which allow the Malware to continually update themselves, thereby eluding detection.
Dropper - A Dropper is a software application or part of the program which is designed to install hostile code onto the system of the targeted computer. Usually, a Dropper comes bundled as part of a virus or trojan.
Spyware - Spyware is any software application that gathers information from the user's PC and transmits it to the Spyware author (usually hackers, but sometimes corporations). The information is gathered and transmitted without the user's knowledge or consent. Spyware applications may steal sensitive corporate information and transmit it to competitors. Spyware also degrades PC performance and can consume huge amounts of bandwidth, especially on corporate servers.
Trojan - A Trojans or Trojan Horse is any programs that installs itself secretly, quite often with sinister intent. Once installed, the trojan author (hacker) can gain complete control of the infected PC. Trojans are usually designed to steal sensitive information and/or destroy the system. Trojans can be distributed as unsolicited email attachments, or bundled with freeware and shareware programs.
Advice: Remove This is a very high risk threat and should be removed immediately as to prevent harm to your computer or your privacy.
