About this tag
ZBot, also known as Win32/Zbot, is a Trojan horse that steals sensitive information such as login credentials and credit card details. It targets financial institutions and social networking sites, sending stolen data to an attacker-controlled server. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss removal difficulties, with Microsoft Security Essentials detecting but not fully eliminating the threat. One variant spreads via spam emails disguised as a Microsoft Outlook security update. Symptoms include alerts during software installation and unexpected logoff loops. Effective removal often requires dedicated malware tools beyond standard antivirus, as boot scans may miss ZBot. Users are advised to avoid formatting and seek specialized cleanup methods.
