[Trojan Removal, Virus Removal] What is the Zlob Trojan?

June 20, 2010
What is the zlob Trojan?
Zlob, commonly refered to as the zlob trojan, attacks your computer systems Active X. Zlob trojan is nothing but a trojan horse which masquerades as a needed video codec in the form of Active X. Once this zlob trojan gets installed, it shows some adds of pop ups. These adds will look exactly like the warning popups of the windows operating system. They will inform you that your system has been infected with spyware, and prompt you to download some anti-spyware. Weather you exit it or click it, the popup window will try to automatically download some pirated programs of anti-spyware such as Ms Antivirus, Virus heat exc. The zlob trojan will be well hidden in this stuff that is automatically downloaded.

The Discovery of the Zlob Trojan
The Zlob trojan was discovered for the first time on the
23rd of April in 2005. It was not well known until June of 2006 because that is when it was first updated.

A firm of computer security called “F secure” have discovered about 32 different types of Zlob Trojan. Some of these types are: rogue DNS, DNS changer etc. This
process is still going on for the discovery of more of them. They attempt to hack the routers to change the settings of DNS. (This is usually easy because most people don’t change the default passwords on there routers) Hence it results in potential rerouting of some illegal websites. These viruses also have links in downloading the instalments of anti virus exe.

The trojan has also been linked to downloading atnvrsinstall.exe which uses the Windows Security shield icon to look as if it is an Anti Virus installation file from Microsoft. Having this file initiated can wreak havoc on computers and networks. One symptom is random computer shutdowns or reboots with random comments. This is caused by the programs using Scheduled Tasks to run a file called “zlberfker.exe”.

What are the Symptoms of Zlob?
As is the case with many other spyware infections, the symptoms can vary and not every Zlob trojan infection will show the same set of symptoms. That being said, here is a list of some of the more common things you will see: an alert informing you of a critical infection, poor scan reporting, false positives in your scanning, deceptive advertising within applications, extremely slow computer performance, the settings of your computer changed, your computer automatically shutting down and restarting, and changes to your desktop (such as the background or icons moved).

What is the Zlob Trojan?

Notes about Zlob Trojan Removal

Anti-malware programs listed below are not targeted at particular fake applications installed by Zlob virus. Instead, they include necessary definitions and algorithms to fight a wide range of malware brought to Windows computers by Zlob.

This means that whether you are struggling to delete AntiVirGear of VirusProtect Pro, one single program from the list above can erase both – and lots more.

Therefore I see no point in listing files and directory names of any particular Zlob-driven fake security program because the list would be endless. It is important to kill the cause of annoying ads and PC misbehaving – which is Zlob itself. All those rogue progams are tip of the iceberg, so removing them alone and leaving main infection intact doesn’t make any harm to Zlob.

Steps to remove Zlob manually

Listing all the filenames that can be generated by Zlob is out of the scope of this. The list would be too long to place it here, and still would miss newest mutations of the trojan. I tend to give a broader view of this malware so that everyone could take necessary steps to cure the infection with as little effort as possible, at minimal cost.

Manual removal of Zlob is complicated since each case of infection is different from others; this trojan makes a system-wide impact. However, deleting a couple of entries can significantly help to remove Zlob, and facilitate the task for Zlob removers to clean out the system completely.

1. Delete the Registry key of nvctrl.exe if present.

Go to Start–>Run, type in regedit.exe and click OK. The Windows Registry Editor will open.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run

Locate the value “nvctrl.exe” = “nvctrl.exe” and delete it.

2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects

and delete the subkey: {724510C3-F3C8-4FB7-879A-D99F29008A2F}

3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects

and delete the key: {724510C3-F3C8-4FB7-879A-D99F29008A2F}

4. Close the Registry Editor.

Deleting these keys increases the chancees to successfully remove Zlob in the shortest time possible.

After Removing Zlob Trojan

It happens that once Zlob has been removed, a computer may lose access to the Internet. This is a side-effect of the Zlob trojan activity (one more reason to be protected against Zlob infection than struggle later to remove it). To repair the network settings and restore web access, a tool called LSPFix can be used.

Some commercial programs normally tackle the problem of lost Internet connection automatically.

Determine the x and y components of the following three vectors in the xy plane. (a) A 10 meter displacement vector that makes an angle of 30 degrees clockwise from the +y direction. (b) A 25 m/s velocity vector that makes an angle of 40 degrees counterclockwise from the -x direction. (c) A 40 lb force vector that makes an angle of 120 degrees counterclockwise from the -y direction.

(a) right angle between the x and y axis. You can use either angle, just don’t mix up your sin and cos or your x and y values. I like to use the angle with respects to the pos x axis.
Sin(θ) = opp/hyp; opp=(hyp)(Sin(θ))
Cos(θ) = adj/hyp; opp=(hyp)(Cos(θ))
y= Cos(30)(10)
x= Sin(30)(10)
OR
y= Sin(60)(10)
x= Cos(60)(10)

x= 5.0m
y= 8.6603m

(b) We need to calc the whole angle from the post x direction to make sure our answer has the correct pos or neg sigh that it needs. 90+90+40=220

Sin(θ) = opp/hyp; opp=(hyp)(Sin(θ))
Cos(θ) = adj/hyp; opp=(hyp)(Cos(θ))

y= Sin(220)(25)
x= Cos(220)(25)

x= -19.151
y= -16.070

(c) We need the angle with respects to the pos x direction. 102-90=30

Sin(θ) = opp/hyp; opp=(hyp)(Sin(θ))
Cos(θ) = adj/hyp; opp=(hyp)(Cos(θ))

y= Sin(30)(40)
x= Cos(30)(40)

y= 20.0 lb
x= 34.641 lb

[Trojan Zlob Virus Removal - Information] Removing DNSChanger Trojan aka troj…

March 6, 2010
What is a Trojan?

A Trojan is a program that enables an attacker to get nearly complete control over an infected PC. Frequently used tool by malicious hackers. When this program executes, the program performs a specific set of actions. This usually works toward the goal of allowing the trojan to survive on a system and open up a backdoor.

What is DNSChanger Trojan, aka the Trojan Zlob?

Trojan DNSChanger is name of group of trojans (zlob dns changer, Troj/Rustok-N, W32/Tidserv …) that hijacking your DNS settings and then redirecting you to malicious websites and stealing personal identities.

Like I said, DNSChanger trojan is not new, but according to the net-security, this new kind of DNSChanger trojan ‘now conducts brute-force attacks against the administration web interface of popular routers. The malware performs a “dictionary attack” based on a list of hardcoded credentials, consisting of the web interface URLs to popular routers – such as from vendors D-Link, Linksys and others -, and their default user names and passwords. This poses a great security risk for those users that do not change their router’s factory default settings. The Trojan tries one combination per approximately 100 milliseconds, which makes 600 combinations per minute.’
Trojan DNSChanger symptoms

* Windows Update redirects you to msn.com.
* Search results in Google, Yahoo, MSN and other redirect you to other non related sites.
* Google/Yahoo/MSN results redirects you via copy-book.com or another fake site.
* Google/Yahoo/MSN has become slower when doing searches.

* Now your should reset your router (trojan DNSChanger can change the router’s DNS settings). Click reset button on back side of the router.
* You may also need to consult with your Internet service provider to find out which DNS servers you should be using.
