Smitfraud and Zlob virus probs

5 min read

This thread's last reply is from July 26, 2008, 8:31 AM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

My computer became infected with Smitfraud and Zlob and another trojan called NNC.MGRS
I appear to have got rid of them using spybot and avg although I'm not 100% sure

I am still left with the words "Virus Alert!" in the task bar next to and on the right of the clock
C: & D: drives do not appear in My Computer but does appear when I right click My Computer >Manage>Disk Management

I just ran both spybot and AVG again and they both give the all clear
My questions are now
Can I be sure that there is nothing lefy where they can creep back in?
How can I get rid of "Virus Alert! in the task bar and have C: & D: drive back in "My Computer"
Any help would be apreciated

Its a Pentiun M 1.50Ghz with 512 Ram
Win XP Home edition SP2
