    Help to delete this W32.Zotob.E virus

    I am using AVG antivirus for my computer system and my system configuration is AMD atholon processor, Asuss mother board, 250 giga byte of hard disk and 2 giga bytes of random access memory. I think my computer system has a good configuration but now my personal computer system is working very slowly. When I scanned my personal computer I got an alert message that W32.Zotob.E is detected. The next step of mine is to delete this virus but when I restarted my personal computer I got the same problem again.

    Re: W32.Zotob.E virus is a kind of worm

    Actually the W32.Zotob.E which is detected on your computer system is a kind of worm not a virus. Normally viruses are designed to corrupt the files but worm are designed to consume the memory space of the user computer system. This, results in the slow processing of the computer system. I your current antivirus is not able to delete this worm from your computer system I will suggest you to use another antivirus for your computer.

    Re: Help to delete this W32.Zotob.E virus

    W32.Zotob.E which is detected on your personal computer is a kind of network worm. In simple word W32.Zotob.E worm spread to other computer system using network nodes. This W32.Zotob.E worm exploits LSASS and Microsoft windows PNP (Plug and play service) vulnerabilities. So I will suggest you to scan all the external memory devices before using in your computer system. You can search for any antivirus present on the internet for removing this worm.

    Once this worm enters your computer and it copies itself to system folder of window with the name of Wintbp.exe. This worm W32.Zotob.E also changes the registry values, so that it can execute whenever you restart your personal computer. That is the reason why your current antivirus is not able to delete it from your computer system. I will suggest you to update your current antivirus software, may be this will help you.
