Last night while my husband was working on the computer, I noticed a message pop up saying that a trojan had been detected, but it disappeared before I could read it all. It happened again briefly but again I couldn't read it. I did a scan using Norton Anti virus but all that came up was a low risk tracking cookie, which comes up all the time and I fixed it anyway.
Today I decided to look further into it and looked at the security history in Norton. It showed that last night a trojan horse had been detected but not removed. It also showed that it came up a few times. I have removed one using norton and I am trying to do the same with the other warnings. They seem to be the same and it says it is Trojan.zlob which I was given more information at the following link: http://securityresponse.symantec.com...917-99&tabid=2
Norton states that this is a high risk virus, can anyone help me to make sure I do remove all of it and that I am not at risk.
Thanks
Sue

New HJT log
I couldn't delete DF86C9 in Temp folder, told me it was being used, but nothing was open.
When you ask me to post new HJT log, does this come from RSIT? If so here is the log.txt:

When this occurs try this technique
Reboot your computer into SafeMode
You can do this by restarting your computer and tapping the F8 key before Windows starts
You are presented with a Windows XP Advanced Options menu
Use your up arrow key to highlight SafeMode then hit enter.
When you ask me to post new HJT log, does this come from RSIT? If so here is the log.txt:
I'm sorry, I forget RSIT doesn't install HJT.
Do this next
Download Trend Micro Hijack This™ and save to desktop.
It is important that you uninstall any previous versions by using Add/Remove programs in your control panel before installing a newer version.
Doubleclick the HJTInstall.exe to start it.
By default it will install HijackThis in the Program Files\Trendmicro folder and create a desktop shortcut.
Accept the license agreement by clicking the "I Accept" button.
Click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
Click "Save log" to save the log file and then the log will open in Notepad.
Click on Edit-> Select All then click on "Edit -> Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.
Reply back with a HJT log and please also give me an update on how the computer is at the moment.
I am having trouble even starting my computer, it gets to the welcome screen and then shuts itself down. I am able to access this website from work, but that doesn't help me work on my computer. If I can get my computer to start I will get back to you. I don't think it is a virus issue though, as my husbands mate was installing something on the computer which caused the virus warning, but it was a crack file that was the issue. That was all sorted but before I could get back to this thread the computer started crashing and I have been unable to get any further details.

Looks like I might be taking it to a repairer.
Not sounding good at all, and since we started helping 3 weeks has past since your last reply and a lot can happen in that amount of time.
It's possible a driver or a critical system file has borked out or something closely related.

My husband had taken our computer to a shop to be fixed yesterday. The guy seems to think it is a power supply problem as it starts to boot up and then shuts down completely, and you need to wait between 5 and 20 seconds before it will let you turn it on again. He said he will try to find where the problem is and that he should be able to save everything. What do you think?
