flower Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I have been taking surveys for the last four or five months on maybe ten different survey sites. No problems. In the last two weeks, my computer has been infected with two different trojans.... I'm not really sure if they are coming from the survey sites. Has anyone else had this problem?

SurveyBang Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 what type of trojan? that could help you narrow down where you are picking up this. was it around the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flower Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 it was called a zlob...apparently the kind that records your keystrokes and captures screens with sensitive info on it. i'm pretty sure i've only been on reputable survey sites, but i've never had a problem before, and the surveys are the only different websites i've been on lately. Who knows..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurveyBang Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 make sure you remove all of that, as well as any recent programs that you downloaded from any popups. If your cpu reboots or webpages are redirecting to sites they shouldnt..its managed to change your DNS in the registry. Or of you have pages that will not close, its installed some sort of malware too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
