HELP!! My homepage has changed. I get an error saying I'm infected with W32Myzor.FK@yf, how do I fix this?

Question

I have run NAV, AVG, and Spybot search and destroy but none of them detect anything wrong. Please tell me what I need to fix this problem. When I open IE it goes to http://asafetynotice.com/ and tries to get me to buy the software from here, http://malwarewiped.com/?aid=246. Are these legitimate websites or are they part of the scam/infection trying to gain my information.

Yes do not trust them cuz they r sum ads and it could probably ads from the virus u hav. Plus u dont hav to use IE and to me that thing is much slower than Mozilla Firefox. I also think that using more than 1 virus just wont function well all together. Just to let u kno i trust AVG Free Edition more than any other virus scan and i will always stick to it.

Answer 4

you have a Trojan doing this. AVG should take care of it. if it doesn't , then prevx WILL.
once you have removed the problem, you'll need to reset your home page.

updated, there is no need ti install 4 or 5 programs to get rid of the problem. it is a waste of time when it is not necessary. i no from experience on the program. over half of them don't 100% do the full job all the time. Prevx will.

Answer 6

Your computer is infected with a trojan called Zlob. Zlob hijacks your homepage to asafetynotice.com and generates warning messages to try and get you to buy fake programs such as SpyDawn, SpyHeal, Antivermins and others. Of course it is important to get rid of asafetynotice.com, but its 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 asafetynotice.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

go to search under the start menu, type in the virus name, find it, then try to delete it, if it says its in use by something else go to task manager (ctl+ alt+del) find it and end the task created by the virus, then quikly delete the virus you found before it creates another task.

then go to internet options under the control panel and change your hamepage back to its original address
