virus, trojan horse downloader.zlob.LVI

well it was surely few days on my computer until i found it... and i afraid about what kind of virus it is, the only info i got about it was info stealer on some site, does this mean its a key logger?

if someone could find a better explanation of it id appreciate it alot... since ive used alot of accounts this last days, and i dont want to lose them O_o

doesn't seem like a keylogger to me, most lickely one that collects spyware.. And it'll slow down your pc too.. Better get a virusscanner on your pc mate..

Zlob is a backdoor trojan that can provide hackers with remote access to your computer. There are many ways your computer could get infected with Zlob. Zlob may already come bundled with another software or it may appear through your Browser security exploits.

Once installed, Zlob will automatically load on every Windows startup and will attempt to hide its activity by injecting code into explorer.exe. Zlob has also the ability to execute programs and take control of all your system.

EDIT: Sry wrong URL http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2005-042316-2917-99

It is ok to be cautious AnemuS :love: , but Fxshark just posted a link from symantec.com and its a safe site. They make the norton antivirus software :).

keylogger or not keylogger.
Trojan will sure steals smt just because it's called "trojan"

well trojan for me is something, that gets access to something closed and it isnt neccesery "stealing" but in fact maybe even adding :) and opening the doors :p

well for sure if it has so much access to the computer probably its possible that it can steal as well :P
