Trojan ZLob?
When I was scanning for viruses, ClamWin picked up 3 viruses. (2/3 weren't real.) It said the Cortex Command un-install file had the Zlob trojan. I like cortex command a lot, and I'm not against any of the creators. I just want an answer... is this real or fake? BTW: The Sims came on my HP.

Re: Trojan ZLob?
What the ♥♥♥♥ is ClamWin.
Honestly, that thing looks like a virus itself. Try AVG or Avast, both are free and trustworthy antivirus programs. And no, Cortex Command isn't a virus.

Also, why does it look like a ♥♥♥♥ virus? Those uber lame high color glassy GUI's makes programs look like viruses. ClamWin is so portable, you can run it fine when playing crysis or something. >.>

Re: Trojan ZLob?
AVG doesn't have an uber lame high color glassy GUI?
Last I checked it was uh pretty much text.
Look, CC isn't a virus. That's about all you need to know.

Hey TheClam see how he's like "virus" and you're like "spybot" and they're like different things?

Re: Trojan ZLob?
EDIT: I just took another look at the pic. Dude, you see the very first two lines? Where it says it found A TROJAN DOWNLOADER? Maybe you should check THAT program.
From what I can tell, whatever that is gave you a trojan which then spread to CC and another program's uninstallers. I guess the this ZLob trojan targets uninstallers for some reason.

Re: Trojan ZLob?
I call your AV shitty and dumb. All three trojans are uninstalls. Patterns. It's false positives, get AVG, it's the best Antivirus on the market. I prefer not to sacrifice quality for the fact that it takes little system resources. AVG takes up a lot of CPU power simply because it's ♥♥♥♥ thorough. Run your scans while you sleep. Uninstall the clam thing, get AVG, scan them, laugh at your mistake as it turns up nothing. This should have been in Computer Help.
