I was downloading a serial for avast anti virus and the file called setup.exe was opened and I was getting bad stuff coming up everyware. I went into safe mode and scand and fixed what i could but it comes back. I used spybot-spyware terminator-adaware-ccleaner and aft cleaner I ran ran reg cure and smitfraud fix. I need your help only a beginner.

Some of the spyware picked up was Zlob.Downlaoder.vcd Zlob.DNSChanger Trojan downloader-Oreon-A/Resident (memory) Trojan.Net-msv/vps (registry)

And what did you learn just right there? ;) I'll just recommand you to use some of these: Spybot - Search & Destroy, Spywareblaster, Spyware Doctor, Ad-Aware, X-Cleaner, Windows Defender, Kerio (Bitguard), Spy Sweeper and plenty other tools. :) The first 4 should be just something for you, rest you got to pay for. ;) Also, when you're searching for serials you should use Firefox and never download anything. :) -------------------- Thor Byrgesen: The one, oh the one computers and all electronics just hate.

The spyware keeps comming back even after spybot fixes.

System restore not working so I disabled it. I have scanned with all the programs I mentioned in my first post but some spyware very sticky. I get your point lesson learned, but how can i remove the spyware that returns on my next scan. There are a couple of entries in my hijack log that look odd, one that says no name but i am not sure what i can delete that is why i posted here.

Zlob often infects the older Java versions. It often uses a Java weaknesses and restore points to re-introduce itself. 1) Remove all versions of Java from Add / Remove programs in control panel 2) Download latest Java version (JDK 6 Update 5) but don't install just yet. Click here for Java Accept Agreement, Download windows offline installation and save to your desktop. 3) Download, install and update SUPERAntispyware (free) but don't run the scan just yet. This has excellent Zlob detection and removal signatures. Click here for SUPERAntispyware free edition 3) Disable real-time protection such as Spybots tea-timer and Spyware Terminators Real-time shield, as they can prevent the cleaning process. I would uncheck them in the startup page in msconfig. They can be turned back on afterwards. 4) Important: Run Smitfraudfix, check the log for detections. If nothing FOUND ! close it. If it shows detections FOUND ! continue with option 2 the cleaning process and when prompted with registry cleaning select Y. Never run smitfraudfix on an uninfected system 5) Boot into safe mode (using the F8 key during startup) - don't use msconfig method and run the full scan with SUPERAntispyware. Remove all it finds. It is fine to run the other antispyware programs in safe mode too if you wish. 6) Boot up normally and run the scans again to verify if any remnants are left behind or infection still there. If still there run a second scan in normal mode to see if the removal worked. 7) If system is clean run ATF cleaner, turn real-time protection back on, install latest version of Java form your desktop and re-enable system restore. Avast free is very good and registration is free. Download the free version and install it will run a boot-time scan for piece of mind or further removal of malware. If you decide to continue with Avast completely remove the other version from your system and download the free one directly from their site www.avast.com It is fine to fix (No Name)....... (No File) entries with HJT.

so far so good, hopefully i think all is good. thank you so much for your help. Just got to download java 72 mb on dial up lol.
