Http://protectionband.com website is harassing me. Please help.?

Question

http://protectionband.com keeps coming up and it tell me I'm infected with various viruses and trojans. It's become very hard to access any of my favorites and a new toolbar I have points to aasafetybar.com. If I click on it, it takes me to aflgate.com. Please help, I think my PC is in danger.

Answer 1

Your computer is infected with a trojan called Zlob. Zlob hijacks your homepage to protectionband.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 protectionband.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 protectionband.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
Security Warning: SpyBot@MXt trojan
W32.Myzor.FK@yf

Answer 2

Rather than try anything out yourself, it's worth getting an expert to check your computer out at:

Register, go to the Hijack This Forum, read the instructions on how to post a log, give a brief description of your problem (like you've just typed) and post your log there. The guys in there are fantastic and trustworthy and will guide you through in getting rid of anything nasty from your computer.

You must post a HijackThis log as per the instructions, not just your problem.

Answer 3

Answer 4

you obviously have a little bug.


You should talk to your computer guy or your local geek, and ask them to back up your data, format and reinstall your OS.


good luck!
