Vista suffering after trojan attack

i was recently attacked by TrojanDownloader:Win32/Zlob.gen!CI

I managed to get rid of it by downloading and running spyware detector and i think the virus/spyware has gone.

My computer has been running strangly ever since 25/10/2008.

when i boot up and have logged in several programs which used to start up fine are now glitchy. My ASrockOC tuner comes on screen but when i click on the minimise or X to close the application nothing happens - same with the spyware detector software that opens at startup, until i open the task manager - as soon as i do this i can minimise and close the programs and then the computer seems to work ok.

The computer has also frozen on several occassion when i try to access certain files and i have had to shut down by holding the power button as there is no response.

I have tried to restore an earlier back up but when i run the vista instalation disc to restore the back up the wizard freezes and i cant restore from the backup image. Ive also tried to restore from the back up image when it is stored on my other partition without the instalation disc but when i do it starts to work then times out.

Is there anything i can do to sort out the problem and to try to restore my PC back to normal?

are these worth a try?

You can also try to run some online scans & check, If there are any traces of the Trojan left on the system. If yes then you try & run Trojan remover & see if that helps, if nothing changes then do a fresh re-install.

That would be nice if my installation CD let me reinstall vista and didnt crash on the second screen when you type in the product key. I cant get past that screen.

Also i have tried to restore from the first back up i made when my computer was freshly installed and working properly. Again the installation screen crashes and wont proceed past the screen where you choose the partition where vista is installed or choose the driver. the screen after is where you chosse to restore an earlier back up but i cant get to this screen.

Does this sound like a hardware failure to anyone? :huh:

What is the error message? Did you do a clean install? If you have a backup, remove all partitions. Shutdown. Unplug wait 10-20 minutes. Plug back in. Do a clean install.

Hi Sypher007,


Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from one of these locations:
http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam/program/mbam-setup.exe

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

* Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
* The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
* The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.

NOTE: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

I ran Malwarebytes and 10 other programs on Virtumonde. It did not work completely. Too many strange things going on. Reinstalling Vista x64 Ultimate was 18 minutes and reinstalling the apps and data was a few hours. Luckily, I did not have all my A/V and CAD apps installed.

Hi,
Try going to SUPERAntiSpyware.com and downloading the Pro version. This will give you a fully working 30 day trial. This software is the best antispyware product on the market - if there is any remaining trojans/spyware on your system this will find it. By default it is set for a Quick scan, so be sure to switch to full scan - should take about 15-20 mins. Also has repair tools in the event your system has been damaged. Hope this helps.
