I also noticed that when mbam was running it scanned over something called .zlob i immediatley thought that was odd so i googled it and it seems to come bundled with antivirus 2008? i think i had that a long time ago... perhaps i still have variants of it or something???? im pretty concerned. thanks guys.

Can you post the MBAM log so we can see exactly what was found/removed?

Sure, i will have to find the requested log...will post soon [after work]

Quote: from: ornate on October 01, 2008, 05:39:12 AM but there again, you guys have said that they can come from lots of things, emails, myspace, my own web pages i suppose? If you would like to post a link to your website I would be happy to have a look and see if I can find any nasties lurking in there.

Well i was going to actually post the link to the web page i have made, unfortunately the url cant be found... i think my website crashed because my domain name is even available again... im very very angry and sad about that ha ha here is the log from mbam and if i can get my page running again, i will let you guys check it out... sorry eric the red.

(Rogue.AntivirusXP2008) i removed that months ago! i dont see how i got it again!!! ??

Well, as you may have discovered in the time that you have been here, these things are not easy to destroy and can re-appear if not properly dealt with. I have had a quick look at your HJT and it appears clean, however, it is late here and I'm tired.

I'll have another look tomorrow unless one of my esteemed colleagues beats me to

Ok thank you eric the red! i will await for any posts...

Hi: I too had a quick look at the logs, I think they are OK. Quote: i dont surf bad sites as far as i know... Good sites can and some times do, pass on infections.

The sites are good but, but thing you open from them are not.

Ever get a strange ecard, d/l from an IM ?

That will do it.There seems to be a rash of bad "CODECS" that are going around also infect people. BG

Basementgeek: hmm...i will have to keep that in mind... i was also considering fropping avg, and using nod32... any other suggestions? and why would mbam or avg STILL be scanning over something marked as .zlob? thanks!

Quote: and why would mbam or avg STILL be scanning over something marked as .zlob? Don't forget that these tools are reliant on malware signature files (definitions).

Although they have a degree of intelligence (heuristics) they depend on something nasty being found and submitted for analysis.

It is the result of the analysis that creates the signature for that piece of malware which is then placed in the definitions.

When you download the update you get the new detection - it may be that that registry value was always there but it wasn't until you got the update that MBAM could see it. This is why it is vital that definition files for AV and anti malware are kept up to date.

I don't use Firefox myself, so I won't be of much help with your crashing problem ...

Do you have the most recent 3.0.3 installed?

I have been trying to install the latest update...it keeps crashing though...

I've read where the 3.0.3 fix for the password problem in 3.0.2 was a bit too fast and introduced other problems.

What version Firefox do you have installed?
