If there is one type of virus out there that is hard to remove it’s a trojan.  Often times these things are refered to as a trojan but they are really spyware programs.  Zlob is a great example.  Once infected with the Zlob trojan it will go out and download fake anti-spyware and anti-virus programs onto your system.  You will aslo notice a ton of pop-ups.  The pop-ups should be a clear indicator that you are infected with spyware.

In order to stop the pop-ups and your computer from running very slow you need to fully remove any sppywaer and other virus trojans from your computer.  The hard part is getting something that will actually work at removing both.  Many products like Norton are not bad for protection but they have a very hard time when it comes to removing a trojan virus.  For best success you should purchase Spyware Doctor With Anti-Virus.  This product is one of the leading software programs that will remove spyware from computers.  If you are really infected then you may have to run the scan multiple times.

Anther thing to try out is to do a system restore first.  Send your computer back in time to when it was not infected.  Yes the trojan will still be on your system but the good news is it will be inactive long enough for you to use your anti-virus program to fully remove this threat.

It is important to have not only virus protection but spyware detection as well.  They are not the same thing and most people who end up getting infected with  a trojan is from spyware and a virus.  Another thing to consider is never downloading and installing any program from an untrusted source.  If you come across a site wanting you to install a video codec you should just say NO.  That is unless you know they site to be trusted.

For those that need advanced help we always send them over to www.nonlinecomputerrepair.org.  You will see this site mentioned many times here.  That is because they are one of the best at what they do and are great at removing all spyware and viruses from peoples computers.  They do charge 89 bucks but that comes with great service and a gurantee that most others can not match.
