[edit] Hold on a minute
There seems to be a bit of an edit war.
First off: ad-spyware is not a term, hence why trojan is MUCH more effective.
Post a note here if you have any objection. Do not edit for sake of editing.

[edit] Alow me to introduce myself
You do not say ad-spyware but Adware
Also I have edited the page a bit ading additional information while keeping the original information in tack.
I am a developer of PHSDL and I track Zlob with castlecops.com
You are welcome to contribute more information that you find relevent to Zlob, but please do not make major changes to the paragraph that I added about PHSDL and how ActiveX is forced on the user.
Looking forward on working together. Please refer to my Wiki talk if you have a question about PHSDL authority.
Thank you, Igor Berger (talk) 23:10, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hello Igor!
Thank you for your contribution. I am familiar with PHSDL and appreciate all of the work CastleCops does (I work at SWI).
With that said, I suggest a couple minor changes to your paragraph. Please read my revision as follows:
The PHSDL, or Project Honeypot Spam Domains List[2], tracks and catalogs Zlob Spam Domains. Most of the domains on the list are redirects to pornographic websites that show a number of inline videos. Clicking on the video to play activates a request to download a malicious ActiveX codec. During this time, the user is prevented from closing your browser, with the exception of opening the Task Manager (by pressing Control, Alt, and Delete at the same time), then manually shutting down the browser process.
______
"Zlob Team of computer crackers automatically submit forum comments with the use of automated script program like Xrumer creating Forum spam."
I don't understand this part^ Please elaborate. I tracked Zlob to Russia... Zlob it is in Russian, so just use a translater.
You know what is a cracker vs a hacker?
______
"For Zlob trojan infection removal help visit Castlecops Forum[3]"
This is biased against the many other antispyware forums, and Wikipedia does not promote a bias point of view.
Do not want to be biased but figured to add a few sources to experts in Zlob Trojan. If you think we shoud remove we can do, or add a few more antispam forums. Maybe make a small subsection and explain what an anti Spam forum is and how it works and show examples of a few. I think that would be unbaised.
That is how all articles on technology and practical application are. Sory about my sentence stucture! Please DigIn and apply your knowledge, let's work together on this. You are welcome to make changes. And I will give it a lookSee and we keep going. Igor Berger (talk) 06:43, 25 November 2007 (UTC) ______

I referenced Honeypot (computing) for format and there is precedence for putting resource links, there is even product and services in external link section with a link to DMOZ. But sending people to DMOZ may not be the best solution, because of the letency in directory update. So the way it looks now, is good. If you can help me with my sentence structure will be great.

[edit] Notability
Ok, I added a few third-party references to show zlob's notability. I was unsure if this subject was notable enough to stay on Wikipedia, but after looking for sources, I believe it is. I did found a couple of sites that may be useful with expanding this article: [1] and [2]. I already used them in the article so you can just put <ref name=tm/> or <ref name=MacTrojan/>, respectively. Rocket000 (talk) 14:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal
Maybe we could put a section on removing it or more information on what it does, because, apparently, LOTS of people have it

[edit] it works under wine!
not notable for the article, but I thought it was interesting that this works under wine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.179.125.7 (talk) 02:34, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
