How to remove Zlob?

What is Zlob?

Zlob is a backdoor Trojan that grants attackers control over the system, and allows them to perform malicious actions on the compromised computer – change essential system settings and modify certain files. However, the most well-known function of Zlob is to spread dangerous rogue anti-spyware parasites, such as SpyLocked, SpywareLocked and SpyLocker. Zlob is closely connected to these threats, and it is safe to say that if you detect Zlob on your system, these other parasites are almost certainly lurking somewhere on your PC, and vice versa.

Usually, Zlob is being disguised as a freeware media codec, some kind of warez product, or a software crack. It installs itself secretly and starts generating pop-up advertisements and fake system security breach notifications.
