ok, so everytime i click on My Documents, I get a pop-up that says I have been infected by the Zlob Trojan. It wants me to click "continue" to download special software to get rid of it (no chance i'm clicking "okay")

How can I get rid of this? I've run my antivirus in safemode and it didn't detect anything. I also ran Spybot and nothing came up.

Any ideas?

try running your antivirus in safe mode. if that doesn't work, run spybot.

i was hoping it would be blatantly obvious that i did indeed read what he wrote, especially with the "i'm an ass" appendage, but it is 3AM.

There's tons of links on how to remove this virus.

Download Spysweeper with antivirus trial. Go into options and update it and tell it to do a custom sweep for rootkits. Run the sweep in safe mode. Repeat above steps with Spybot Search & Destroy. Problem solved.

honestly format c is probably the best option

dnl would know.

No, seriously, I've seen SpySweeper remove that exact virus probably a hundred times. Then I would do a Spybot scan too just to make sure.
