SmitFraud (also known as W32/SmitFraud.A) is a malicious spyware application that may install itself secretly via adware. SmitFraud may also be brought into your computer bundled with a fake codec (that may include the following: BrainCodec, VideoKeyCodec or PCodec). SmitFraud is designed to inject a corrupt code in Windows DLL that usually results in Blue Screen of Death (a nasty desktop modification). SmitFraud may also generate misleading warning messages, in order to scare gullible computer users into buying fraudulent anti-spyware applications. It is strongly recommended to dispose of SmitFraud as soon as possible.

Zlob (also known as Zlob-X.a, Zlob-XA and Troj/Zlob-XA) is a backdoor parasite that is designed as a hijacking tool. Zlob has the ability to modify essential computer settings, as well as certain registry entries to start at every Windows boot and remain hidden while performing its devious acts. While running in stealth mode, Zlob enables a remote hacker to connect to your computer and dominate it entirely. When Zlob is at work, the attacker has a full authority to download and install supplementary malware applications onto your computer, execute certain commands and steal your personal and financial data. Zlob may also pop-up fake warning messages stating that your computer is infected with the following parasites:

W32.Myzor.FK@yf
Trojan-Spy.Win32.mx
Spyware.CyberLog-X

Zlob may also install corrupt anti-spyware applications onto your computer without your consent and approval. Many of the notorious software (including IEDefender, SpyShredder, AntiVirGear, WinAntiVirus Pro 2007, Ultimate Cleaner and SecurePCCleaner) are often distributed by Zlob. We strongly recommend removing Zlob from your system using malware removal tools to dispose of this dangerous parasite once and for all.
