Good Evening - I recently opened a link in an email from the Wife of a Trusted Source -- He's been having some Health Problems and I assumed that it was about a new development of his health. The Link opened a Canadian Pill Pharmacy ad -- and I knew what I had done. I ran my AVG -- with no result -- also MalwareBytes - Bit Defender - Spybot -- Windows Malicious Remover. Nothing found but, across the next days - my browser and computer operation became slow, links were being Hijacked, and my computer didnt want to shut down. A friend suggested that I let Spyware Doctor run a Scan -- It found a few warning low risk items and it found Trojan-Spy.Zbot. I didnt buy the Spy Doctor -- when I opened the page to see the Amount -- my AVG popped up a Warning Page that scared me off. I have a friend that warns of some free scan sites that Expoit the Granted Access. My Son performed a system restore back before the email date and at this point This was completed about 90 Minutes ago. All seems GOOD. Computer pages are Loading Faster -- Browser working Faster and Links are not Hijacked. What should I do now ? Where is the Malicious File / Program ? If its still in the Computer, how do I keep it from re-activating ? Should I Clear all the System Restore Points that were after the one I used ? This is New Territory for me -- I've never had to use system Restore before. I Can't seem to find this issue addressed anywhere in the Restore threads or Spyware Removal with Restore threads. Thank You -- Your shared knowledge would be appreciated
