How to remove Zlob trojan virus Info

The Zlob trojan, also known as Trojan.Zlob, is a trojan horse which masquerades as a needed video codec to view pornographic movies. Once installed, it displays popup advertisements with appearance similar to real Windows warning popups, informing the user that their computer is infected with spyware. Clicking these popups triggers the download of a so called fake anti-spyware program in which the trojan horse is hidden.

Some variants of the Zlob family, the so called DNSChanger, adds rogue DNS name servers to the registry of Windows computers and network settings of Macintosh computers[1] and therefore could potentially re-routes traffic from legitimate web sites to other suspicious web sites.
