*** Trojan Horse Zlob.G ***

[Bill Lane]

Hi All:

I started getting a Security Center Alert that looks like it's from Microsoft telling me I have the Trojan Zlob.G High Risk.

But something don't look right to me. The Keep Blocking & Unlock buttons are grayed out and the Enable Protection is missing the E in Enable.

When I Click nable Protection it takes me to a web sity to buy thier product.

http://www.defender-review.com/?a=112. the product is called SafeSoft.

It gives you the option ro download or buy.

AVG don't find this Trojan, AVG is up to date.

Also doing a search for this file didn't show anything.

OS: WinXP Pro.

Your help will be very much appreciated!!!

Go to www.malwarebytes.org and download the free anti-malware and run it.

Hi glc:

Looks like that got rid of the trojan, at least it hasn't showed up so far.

Thanks again for steering me in the right direction !!!

Hi glc:

Was the Security Center Alert a phony? it sure looked real except for the grayed out and the Enable Protection is missing the E in Enable.

Is that SafeSoft a real company? I would be afraid to do business with them if they use this tactic to get people to there site.

Would appreciate your opinion, and thanks again !!
