Hello I am new here and here is my first question I have Norton Internet Security 2011. I ran a scan and it found a trojan.Zbot and it quarantined it is my computer safe or is it still affecting it.

 

Thanks 

David.

Hi David,

 

To be on the safe side, run a full system scan with Norton. If you wish, you can also download the free version of Malwarebytes from this link as a supplementary on-demand security program (never run two realtime security programs together):

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

Install Malwarebytes, launch the program and go to "Update"; click on "Check for Updates" and let it download the definition files. Then go to "Scanner" and have it run a full scan. When Malwarebytes has finished the scan, it will automatically generate a log in a Notepad file, which will pop up on your screen after the scan. On this window of the Notepad file, please go to "File", then to "Save as"; type in a name, save the file to, for instance, your desktop, then post it over here by using the "Attachments" feature when you write your next post.

Finally, you can read more information on Trojan.Zbot over here:

Hello,

 

I have to second that what our good friend Yasoh_Kuuhl has suggested, Malwarebytes is an excellent piece of software used by many on here incl. myself for getting a 'second opinion' after clearing out nasties from your pc.

 

Hi 'Yasoh_Kuuhl',

 

Guten Abend, wie gehts? Couldn't help notice the avatar you are using, who is it in the picture? She looks very nice.

Hallo brummie, mir geht's prima, danke; Dir hoffentlich auch ;-)))

 

Thanks for your kind words with regard to my post and to my current avatar; the eyes and mouth belong to Madhuri Dixit, an Indian actress :-) I like the bindi (ornament between the eyebrows) and nose jewelry she is wearing in the pictures.

Hi Yasoh_Kuuhl,

 

I'm well too thanks, I must say you have good taste there. Don't like facial jewellery much but the actress in your picture does look beautiful with it.

 

Have a good evening, and keep that keyboard clicking :)

 

Güten Abend
