Help! My son's computer is infested with this thing and I can't seem to get rid of it. A google search indicated spybot would do it, but it hasn't. (I've been having trouble with the spybot on that computer doing what it is supposed to do for awhile.   Have uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it still isn't working quite right.) Spybot said it removed the trojan zlob (or something like that) which I guess is how this bogus program got installed to begin with. But there is still a win32:zlob in what I think is the registry.

Other sites that pop up on google for removal tools are sites I don't know about, and I'm afraid to use them.   There is one site that offeres instructions for removing it manually, with all kinds of notations that you can really screw your computer up if you don't do it exactly right, so you really ought to by their removal tool.
