trojan.zlob.g - please help

Hi there,

I'm having the same problems as others with trojan.zlob.g - browsers have been hijacked and whenever I start them up, they tell me that my computer's not safe, as well as the supposed windows firewall popup as well. Please can someone help me with this?

Here is my HijackThis log:

Hello.
I see you are using a crack to avoid windows copy protection.
This is dangerous and illegal.

Hello.

• Open HijackThis
  
• Choose "Do a system scan only"
  
• Check the boxes in front of these lines:
  
  
  O20 - Winlogon Notify: Antiwpa - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\antiwpa.dll
  
  
  
• Press "Fix Checked"
  
• Close Hijack This.
  

Delete this file in bold:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\antiwpa.dll

• Download combofix from here, use the top links - combofix.exe
  
• Double click on ComboFix.exe.
  
• Follow the prompts. NOTE:
  
• ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed.
  ***It's strongly recommended to have the Recovery Console installed before doing any malware removal.***
  
  **Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will automatically proceed with its scan.
  
  
  
• The Recovery Console provides a recovery/repair mode should a problem occur during a Combofix run.
  
  
  
  
• Allow ComboFix to download the Recovery Console.
  
• Accept the End-User License Agreement.
  
• The Recovery Console will be installed.
  
• You will this next prompt that asks if you want to continue the malware scan, select yes
  
  
  
  
• Allow combofix to run
  
• Post C:\combofix.txt back here.
  
  Note:
  Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
  

Hi,

I did the following:

Check the boxes in front of these lines:

O20 - Winlogon Notify: Antiwpa - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\antiwpa.dll

Press "Fix Checked"

Close Hijack This.
But when I went to delete the file from the system32 file, it told me that it could not delete it because access was denied "Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use".

What should I do now?

Thanks for your help

Hello.
Miss it for now, combofix will take it out.

Run combofix now.

Problem seems to be fixed now... Thank you very much for your help
