I have run several antivirus scans, adaware SE and Super Antispyware. End result is my computer is behaving a lot better, with the exception of an apparent spyware calling itself system alert, claiming that my system is infected and I should install VirusProtect to fix it. My homepage also still points to http://webpagesupdates.com. Please help.
System Alert Virus / spyware Trouble, Can't get rid of http://webpagesupdates.com?mcaffee
Your computer is infected with a nasty trojan called Zlob. Zlob hijacks your homepage to one of many sites including webpagesupdates.com and then generates warning messages to try and get you to buy fake programs such as AntiVirGear, VirusProtect, SpyLocked, SpyHeal, System Doctor, Antispy, AntiSpyware Shield and others. Of course it is important to remove webpagesupdates.com, but it鈥檚 just as important to also remove the Zlob Trojan that implanted it there. In my experience, a program called SpyNoMore is your best bet for removing the Zlob trojan. By removing this trojan, you will also get rid of webpagesupdates.com and all the nastiness that came with it. Another symptom of Zlob Trojan is that it generates fake warning messages like:
System Alert
Critical System Error
System Performance monitor warning
Security Alert: NetWorm-i.Virus@fp
