i run windows xp with sp2 and had a virus which i got from trying to install a video codec that i was told i needed.it was trying to install spy falcon onto my system after saying that my system was infected and i needed spy falcon to get rid of it.i took my system to a computer shop and they eradicated the virus for me.the owner told me to install windows defender (beta) which would help with future problems even though i run zonealarm,ad-aware se,avg and spybot.
everytime i run windows defender it brings up a warning about ZOLOB TROJAN DOWNLOADER.i remove it but it constantly comes back.
can anybody give me directions on how to get rid of this once and for all please.

apeman,
Please can you try at least two if not more of these On-line scans
Panda
Symantec
McAfee
TrendMicro
Bit Defender
Kaspersky
CommandonDemand
Computer Associates
CyberTechHelp
PC Pitstop
Stinger
a2
or download and try
TrojanHunter (Note Trojan Scanner 30 day Trial)
Then once you have done clear out your cache folder again ie: Run
CCleaner
(Note in CCleaner: go to >options > advanced > Uncheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours").
Then using
Ad-aware SE Build 106 (Free/Personal)
[if not Uninstall your old Ad-aware first then install SE]
Then use the WebUpDate
to get the latest Definition file
(SE1R97.13.03.2006) do a "Full Scan" and then post your logfile here by using the Add-Reply Feature .
and then can you run windows defender and let us know if it still there .

i apologise for not leaving the log-file from ad-aware se but i had beleted the files before remembering to add it on to this reply.
trojan hunter took care of the trojan,i ran cccleaner and cleaned everything out,ran ad-aware se and deleted everything there.ran trojan hunter again and it never picked up anything but when i ran windows defender the trojan was back.same file,same place.
i ran regedit and found exactly where the file is but after deleting it, it still comes back right away.
i even tried disabling system restore incase it was trapped in the system restore files but that never worked either.
i still have pest-patrol and hijack this to try so i will keep you updated and hopefully it will work
