Has anyone found information on this at either McAfee or MS? I can't believe they don't know about this?

Malwirewipe.com is spyware. McAfee probably can't find it, and Microsoft does not automatically protect you from things you wander into. Get spyware removers like SpyBot and Ad-Aware, both free from download.com. Download, install and run them one at a time to clean up your computer.

Immunize the computer in SpyBot before running a full bot check. After the bot check, remove everything it finds using Fix Selected Problems.
Run a full system scan in Ad-Aware, thereafter you can run a Smart Scan. Keep both programs updated and run them often.

Aliases Troj/Zlobmi-Gen (Sophos), TROJ_ZLOB.BEU (Trend), Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Zlob.bnw (Kaspersky), Trojan.Zlob (Symantec)
The website name is Malwarewiped.com, which is not much different than the old one, malwarewipe.com.
This program is advertised by trojans and other malware to try to trick you into buying it. My copy got downloaded by clicking a fake warning from updatestate.com. Avoid this program, it's not worth paying for. Especially when most people will have it installed on their computer by spyware and trojans.
Trojan.Zlob is a back door Trojan tht allows the remote attacker to perform various malicious actions on the compromised computer.
Zlob downloads and installs Spyware and Adware applications. Most of them are considered to be rogue anti-spyware:
