I have the zonebac.b trojan horse showing up with my Windows Defender scans. Searching the internet for this virus brought me to TechSpot OpenBoards (here!), and I'm hoping for your kind assistance.
From reading other posts here on the same topic, I came to realize that you all would be requesting the info from the 15 Steps How-to thread, so I started the process and got as far as Step 10. When I went to use Tool1 for the second iteration, which is recommended to be done in Safe Mode via F8, my computer went into a start-up loop and never could get into Safe Mode. I cut the power, waited 10 minutes, then was able to reboot to my regular XP SP2 start-up (BTW, I am the only user, therefore I am operating in administrator mode by default). Then down in Step 13 in the first link I read the caution about NOT using Sys Config Utility to get to Safe Mode if F8 was causing trouble.
So my question now is, what should I do to complete the 15 steps? I know that one or two others of them will require the Safe Mode.
Thanks in advance for your help with this confounding infection!
