Seems like I got Zlob downloader as well, but I have it on Windows Vista and this smitfraud thing doesn't work on that, right? Anyone who could please help me? It's my girlfriend's laptop and I am desperate to fix it before she gets back home a study trip. Thanks in advance.

Yours,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this or not. Using Spybot Search & Destroy, I found Zlob.DNSChanger. I share the internet with two of my family members. We each have our own computers, but we're all connected to the same internet source. I've tried using SmitFraudFix and using SpyBot to remove it in Safe Mode. After doing this, it comes back. If I disconnect myself from the network, scan for and remove Zlob.DNSChanger, and then scan again, it stays gone. As soon as I reconnect back to the network and scan again with SpyBot, it comes back. I tried taking my computer somewhere else after and connecting to the internet there. I go into Safe Mode, scan for and remove it and then connect to the internet and it stays gone. But as soon as I come back home and reconnect there, it comes back. What does this mean and how can I get rid of it permanently? Thank you for any help you can give.
