  • I am using XP family edition & tried downloading your full version free trial & it found & removed it ok!

    Now my computer is about as fast as a Pentium 1.

    It tacks 10 minutes just to open & you can see some thing is running in the back ground but can not see what! It is so slow now only thing I see to do is reinstall my windows.

  • Hi Sundance,

    I'm having to guess on a lot of things here, it sounds like some malware is still running (Possibly dropped by that Keygen that was detected), if you restart then scan with the Sophos Virus Removal Toolkit again, is Troj/ZAccess-AH detected again?

    If so, then you may need to do some investigation into what is dropping the file (As you mentioned, it sounds like something is still running in the background), I can't give you any direct steps for this sadly, but we do have a white paper (a bit techy) on Zero Access which may help you or someone else look into it for you.

    You'll also find a lot of online information about Zero Access if you search.
