- Zlob trojan, or just Zlob, downloads itself to your computer via an ActiveX codec. Zlob trojan displays popup ads that look like Microsoft Windows warnings telling you that your computer is infected.
Clicking these warning popups will cause a fake anti-spyware program to be downloaded to your computer. You will
then be urged to purchase the fake anti-spyware program, thus giving the malware perpetrator actual money, as well
as your credit card information. The perpetrator is often a web site in the Ukraine! "Zlob Trojan" is most usually
encountered at adult web sites masquerading as a video codec that will give you
access to adult content videos.
