Hi, I am new and I need help. I ran all the programs required AdAware, Spybot, and A2 but I'm still having a lot of problems with my computer running really slow, and when I go to web sites such as ebay, amazon.com and others, I get redirected to advertisement websites. Then my IE freezes up! Please help!

Hi,

I downloaded Trojan Hunter and found the trojan downloader Zlob 566 at C:\windows\MSBN\setup.exe, it is now in quarantine. However, that did not fix my IE problems or my search problems for files and folders.

Would it really mess things up if I went ahead and downloaded Firefox on my computer to acces the internet? or Will all the evil trojans, adware and malware follow?

I just really need internet access and IE is such a pain, I never know what website I go to will start downloading ads. I still would like to continue trying to get this stuff cleaned up though.

let me know.

Please close this thread. I am taking my computer to a shop to have it fixed. Thanks for all your help.
