How do I get rid of protectionwarning.com and asecuritybar.com?

Question

These 2 websites constantly come up as my homepage. First, protectionwarning.com shows me a popup saying I'm infected, then if I try to access any other page, asecuritybar.com comes up and blocks access. Please help, I'm at my wits end.

Answer 1

Since your homepage is pointing to http://protectionwarning.com/ , this means your PC is infected with a trojan called Zlob Trojan. Of course it is important to get rid of protectionwarning.com, but it is just as important to also remove the Zlob Trojan that implanted it there. In my experience, a program called SpyNoMore is your best bet in removing the Zlob trojan. By removing this trojan, you will also get rid of protectionwarning.com. Another symptom of Zlob Trojan is that it generates fake warning messages like:

System Alert
Critical System Error
System Performance monitor warning
Security Alert: NetWorm-i.Virus@fp
W32.Myzor.FK@yf

Answer 2

To removal protectionwarning download a free tool at http://www.nosnoopware.com/removal/protectionwarning.com.htm


I can't find much information on asecuritybar. You could try using Hijack This.

Download HijackThis---http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/programs.php#hijackthis. Run and Save a Log. When you log comes up copy and paste the entire log at http://www.hijackthis.de/ . Analyze your results. You will then get a screen that will tell you if you have any nasty stuff in your computer. Follow instructions to deal with any nasties. CAUTION: This is a very powerful tool. Be careful.


You may have to boot in Safe Mode with Networking if you can not get to the pages to download what you need to remove the threat.
