I am searching for some help to prevent Win-Trojan/Zbot.63488.Q from entering the computer. I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Avast antivirus and my browser is Internet Explorer 8. If the infections enter the system, I am able to delete the same using the Avast antivirus, but I keep getting the alerts of Win-Trojan/Zbot.63488.Q, whenever I am browsing the web. Please reply with some methods to avoid such infections from gaining entry into the system.

It does not not matter even if you are using the best antivirus and you do not update it. So, I suggest you to keep the database of the antivirus updated to prevent Win-Trojan/Zbot.63488.Q from entering the computer. With this technique, the antivirus will not only be available to detect when the infections try to enter the system, but also will be able to delete the new infections that are released by the attackers.

I advice you to beware while accepting file transfers to prevent Win-Trojan/Zbot.63488.Q from entering the computer. The attackers will chat with you and make friendship with you. After some time they will tell you to accept some particular file, which they will describe as a very useful or good file. You just have to stay alert and decline such invitations, since those files contain infections or malicious contents.

Stop downloading pirated softwares to prevent Win-Trojan/Zbot.63488.Q from entering the computer. Many unsuspected users easily fall prey to such an attack. This is because the users search for such files on the internet. The attackers know this and hence, they embed the pirated softwares along with the infections. So, when you will be downloading the softwares, you will be actually downloading the infections into the system.
