Did you go thru all the steps?

Mark,

Did you look through all the manual steps to remove it listed on the Symantec Page? It's rather involved & involves the registry.

Mark, from your statement
Dec 14, 2005 6:47AM PST

of "get a norton warnuing saying zlob trying to access comp". It sounds to me like "zlob" is trying to access the computer which means to me that it is not actually on the computer because Norton is blocking it unless you aren't explaining exactly what is happening.

Hi Mark
Dec 14, 2005 7:21AM PST

If it says ''trojan.zlob acess denied'' that means it did NOT get in. I have had similiar experiences 2 or 3 times in the last 2 or 3 years with trojans trying to access but Norton denied access. I also got a simliar message that you did ''c\windowssystem32\ldfCo3.tmp''. I used CCleaner to clean everything out and I never had a problem afterwords. I would try that and see what happens. Do you use CCleaner?

I do NOT think you are infected with this.

What I would do Mark is run CCleaner, then reboot and to a complete scan with Norton. IF you are infected, it will tell you but I think you wil be OK.

I don't know what to tell you
Dec 14, 2005 9:25AM PST

about the blue screen trying safe mode. You are tapping the F8 key as it boots up? Also is it a specific website that you get this on? How often do you get it?
