I had a very similar virus earlier this week. When I clicked on a video, I was asked to install an "ActiveX" control, which many websites use, including Nor'East for the chat room. Once I did that, I had all sorts of alerts go off and pop-ups advertising phony virus protection and alerts about having a trojan.zlob virus.

I ran AVG Anti-Spyware, Spybot Search & Destroy, and my Symantec Antivirus and it couldn't eliminate it. Togmaster recommended and sent me the link for Malwarebytes. I was able to install and run the program and it quarantined and deleted 75 threats. Including the trojan virus that was causing my problems. It was not a Zlob virus.

Anyway, that program worked great and I'd recommend it to all of you.
