    How to remove virus "Trojan.Spy.Win32.Zbot.Sot"?

    I am using windows 7 on my personal computer. I am using AVG scan antivirus for security. From last week my antivirus is giving me an alert message that “Trojan.Spy.Win32.Zbot.Sot” is detected on my personal computer. When I tried to delete this virus from my computer it is deleted but when I rebooted my personal computer antivirus is giving me the same message again. If my antivirus is giving me an alert message then one thing is for sure that “Trojan.Spy.Win32.Zbot.Sot” is a virus. I just want to get rid of this virus from my personal computer. I will be waiting for any

    Re: Trojan.Spy.Win32.Zbot.Sot steals confidential information

    Your antivirus has detected virus name “Trojan.Spy.Win32.Zbot.Sot” in your personal computer. Basically these kinds of virus come in the category of Trojans. Trojans are the non self replicating programs. Means Trojans are not like worms or viruses which replicate it to consume memory space of your computer. Trojans are designed to target intended users. Means they are designed to steal confidential information from the user. So I will suggest you to buy another antivirus and get rid of this Trojan from your personal computer.

    Trojan does not cause high damage to your personal computer. But the information Trojans steal from your personal computer may cause high damage to your personal computer. I will try to explain you with an example. Trojans can steal your banking credential from your personal computer, which can be used by hacker to access your bank account. I will suggest you to buy MacAfee antivirus to delete this Trojan from your personal computer.

    Re: Upgrade your antivirus

    If your antivirus is detecting the Trojan in your personal computer then it must be able to delete this “Trojan.Spy.Win32.Zbot.Sot” from your personal computer. I think the problem is with the up-gradation of your antivirus. Before buying any new antivirus I will suggest you to up-grade your current antivirus. I think up-grading your antivirus will solve your problem.

    Re: Method to remove Trojan.Spy.Win32.Zbot.Sot

    I was also suffering with the same virus problem named as “Trojan.Spy.Win32.Zbot.Sot”. I got the solution for this problem which I will like to share with you. First I tried to update my current antivirus program but it just gone in waste. Then I switched to Solo anti-virus. Solo anti-virus antivirus deleted this trojan from my personal computer without any problem. I will suggest you, not to go for any other antivirus, just download the free version of Solo anti-virus from its official site and this will surely solve your problem.
