I keep getting this suspicious virus alert in my toolbar telling me that i have critical errors, i know i do of course but i'm wondering if this this virus alert on my toolbar is actually windows or just more spyware? also I have contracted the
zlob downloader. Is this the zlob trojan? also everytime i fix the zlob downloader in spybot search and destroy i'll scan my computer again and zlob downloader will be back up there even though i have already cleaned it. can anyone help me????? I really do not want to have to re-install windows. plus i don't have the disc. :( PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!
 
well i think i once had a zlob downloader but i deleted but yes it is a trojan downloader sadly for you but if it comes to you having to reinstall windows just reformat you will have to lose all your data though :( ... and to keep it from coming back just turn system restore off (google) log into safe mode (F8 when you reboot, press it constantly) and scan your computer with anti virus and adware/spyware tools and try to remove it...
 
you can also post your hijack this log on "hijackthis.de" and it will tell you whats harmful. "trend micro" or any other online virus scanners are good aswell. look all through your c drive (use the search if you want) and remove all traces of the zlob thing.
 
You have what is commonly referred to as a "Smitfraud" infection.

There's no need to reformat or reinstall Windows to remove this infection. It just requires the correct tools.

Download SmitfraudFix by S!Ri from either of these mirrors to your desktop:

SmitfraudFix Mirror 1
SmitfraudFix Mirror 2

Right click SmitfraudFix.zip and Extract (unzip) the SmitfraudFix folder inside to your desktop.

Open the SmitfraudFix folder and double-click "smitfraudfix.cmd"

Select option #1 - "Search" by typing 1 and pressing "Enter".

Copy & paste the contents of the text file which appears back here please.

======

Also post a hijackThis log as previously suggested.

Download HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.

Double-click HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop to start the installation.

By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.

Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.

Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.

Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.

At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.

Click 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 (Ctrl+V) in your next reply.

DO NOT have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.
 
alright but i'm also wondering about the virus alert box that keeps popping up in my toolbar. Its just a red box that says Virus Alert!! you have critical system errors and etc. is that spyware? If it is will it go away after i get rid of the smitfraud?
 
It shall indeed. The first part of the fix will tell us which files are present on your system. The second part of the fix will remove them and the fake virus alert on your desktop. :)
 
alright here is my smitfraudfix file log
