Hi, security toolbar 7.1 appeared on my pc last week and immediately started flashing lots of warning messages/trying to get me to download software to remove viruses etc.

It took me 30 mins or so to find out that this was a nasty one and download a program called Spynomore to remove this Zlob trojan.

Has anyone here had a similar experience, and if so how did you remove it?
Also, could I have been highjacked in the time it took me to remove it?
The spynomore software seems to have removed every trace of it, but I am a bit worried after reading about the people who use security toolbar 7.1 and what it can do to your pc.

Many thanks in advance, Don
 
Download "Spybot - Search & Destroy" it's free and is great, but once you get infected they can be almost impossible to get rid of with your reinstalling.

First mack a back of nay thing rearly important either to another PC or cd/dvd I'm constantly shavring every thing between my main PC and laptop so if i get a problem on one it's still safe.

Thanks very much for that, I downloaded spybot and there were some traces of the Zlob trojan left on my pc. It got rid of them very quickly.
However, the software I paid for should have done that and didn't.

Think I've been conned, and hope nothing more serious happens.

Many thanks again helterskelter, Don
