Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

First of all, ZLOB has many variants (e.g: ZLOB.A, ZLOB.B, etc.), and cleaning one variant is different from another. So I suggest you rescan it again. This time with the Trend Micro Housecall. (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/), no need to install anything there since this is an online scanner. Then, you check what variant is detected in your computer. Then, you check the Trend Micro Virus Encyclopedia for manual cleanup: http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo. Or, if you want automatic cleanup, you use the Sysclean package from Trend: http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp
That should remove all known ZLOB variants to date. And in the virus encyclopedia, you might learn a thing or two about what zlob does to your pc.
enjoy.

First, a firewall can not disinfect a computer, it can only prevent attacks thtough one attack vector, attacks on your computer ports.
Second, there are almost 1500 different variants of the Zlob trojan, I suggest you follow the advise by "Big Chris" above.

A firewall is not meant to detect viruses. Take a look at this link for information on it and how to remove it.

Disable any software, application, shell or process that lets you save previous settings, like systems restore and norton ghost. Delete or remove all infected files, these are usually exe files. Restart. If OS fails, repair your OS installation.

Mcafee's online scanner should be able to get rid of this trojan. Also there is something on the web called X-Cleaner that can rid of serious security threats on your pc...
