What should I do?

u need to reformat the system u can give it to a system engineer to help you out i can help you if you don't mind but it depends on where you are am in allen lagos

No solution?? Format? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? That's the last thing!!!!!!!!!

all those errors are generated by the malware itself, just get its name, run regedit and search for anything related to that name and delete them. Good luck

If the system still allows installation get bitdefender or nod32. if it does not allow installation slave the harddisk i.e if its a desktop scan the slave HDD with an updated antivirus.
2. if its a lappy get a networking cable network it with an updated antivirus of another system. you must first share your HDD. You can also scan it in a cafe via the network

Mayne, how come all these infections at once. Don't u have some system firewall, protection anti virus or sumthm? Well, run all your system utilities one by one talking bout Windows Defender, Scan Disk, Disk Clean up, Tune-Ups etc and most importantly your anti virus which should be the last thing. I suggest Kaspersky Internet Security 2009.

There's no need to panic. . .

Gbam!!!

Its an adware. Just dont install any advertised product from the link it provided. Just get an AVP and run a full scan. You'd end up with executables not found during startup on successful disinfection from most top rated AVPs. Just edit the startup/registry entries accordingly.

Cheers!

Of course I use Nod32 and I've scanned the whole system, It trapped 8 worms, I also scanned with Ad-aware 6.0 also trapped 8, I deleted them but still this shit won't go!!, Maybe after this i will restart my PC, Will let you all know. Thanks so much.

Try using malwarebytes Anti-Malware program. Its vety good in scanning systems. Use ccleaner or tuneup utilites also to clean your registry and temp files. Bottom line, you need to perform a little system maintenance. And always make sure your antivirus program is updated and you perform a full system scan atleast once a week.

chuck it in the bin!

I just discovered now that my TEMP file is empty! Is that a prob.?

Wen ur bank account is empty, is that a problem? hheheh

umm. . . no bro, ur TEMP being empty is all good.

Here's wht u should do,

Get kaspersky 7.0 (not 8.0 o), download all the updates from the site, update it manually and do a scan.

Get Crap Cleaner and scrub tht pc.

Get google as a friend, search for this "Zlob.P0rn.Ad" and read all u can about it.

Get whoever has tht hardware and pinch him (lol i'll love this part)


worst case scenario:
Back Up all ur data on the OS partition (documents, music, videos, games, prons )
Go look for tht ur pirated copy(i can help with my copy ) of winXP and format the freaking thing.

Sorry about ur pc stress, hope my post was m vfe way helpful

I have not attacked at all while i do manually those software regularly as it detected 7 viruses FOUND being removed after the first time installed downloaded it was detected 200 viruses found.

[/list]

Hope it helps! Good luck!

You downloaded a virus or some sort.

these things are coming attached to what appears like QUALITY PROGRAMS. But in reality they are out to hijack your computer.

In the future, you should stick with the top of the line QUALITY programs.

good luck cleaning up your computer.

I just thought of formating my laptop, I use to take it to a system engineer who charges me a lot of money, I think there is "No big deal" in formating a laptop, Can I do it myself?

@UNLEASHED

Yes, you can do it yourself to clean up infected virus only if you already download the BEST QUALITY OF ANTI-VIRUS, ANTI-SPYWARE, REGISTRY CLEANER, and other system utilities i just mentioned to be removed as well as use google.com finding how to remove the virus file "Zlob.P0rn.Ad" instruction.

I never go computer technician for that kind of issues. Because I myself am do-it-myself troubleshooter fixing any kinds of issues i find solutions myself over 15 years. IT SAVE MY MONEY!

There are thousands of virus removal on google.com EVERYWHERE!

PLEASE NEVER TRUST TO CLICK THE STRANGE FILE/ZIPPED/LINK/DOWNLOAD from email you got THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYONE OR NEVER HEARD PROGRAM as well as here on Nairaland's PORN spamming AD that are usually VIRUS FILES HIDDEN when it comes to click.

REAL LIFE WHEN i click somewhere YOUTUBE VIDEO PORN LINK on other Nigerian forum---not Nairaland here, my McAfee Site Advisor on my Internet Exploroer browser ALREADY AUTOMATICALLY detect WARNS me about link is phishing site or virus, my browser SHUT DOWN at my face. It is good thing!  Then i IMMEDIATELY scanned my anti-virus software---already removed virus in a second.

That is why McAfee my favorite one. I don't care what people complain/say about McAfee, TOO BAD THEY GOT INFECTED not to follow instruction. I have been use McAfee over 15 years loyally as i paid every year subscriber. The more i get great benefit getting discounted prices of McAfee products as much as i want to.

YOUR SYSTEM IS VERY VALUABLE TO YOU!

@Uspry
Thanks.
@ Dual Core
U're great! thanks

There is only one solution to this. Reformat your hard drive. Unfortunately I have seen this more than a few times usually from family members. Going onto the Internet without anti-virus protection is like having sex with hookers without a condom. If you have a good anti-virus protection (I use Norton) you can visit any site you want and be protected. Running scans and trying to clean up after the fact never works. First reformat and then the first thing you do is install anti-virus protection. Norton anti-virus protection is great. It requires a yearly fee, but if you can afford it they will stop every virus at the door.

format the system and get an anti-virus on
