HI THERE,

I need some urgent help:
My anti virus kaspersky detected some virus: pdm invader and some trojans (win 32 and zlob). I tried to get rid of them with VIPRE but I wasnt succeeded, it doesnt detect it.

I used hijackthis and I leave here the log so that anyone can give me a help:

Thank you in advance :'(

Short, practical explanation for (and thanks to for pointing toward a cleanup procedure): a Kaspersky "PDM.Invader" alert is not a file name but a proactive/heuristic detection that flags behavior such as code/DLL injection into other processes—it means something (malicious or legitimate) attempted to inject into another program. The “Zlob” family is a well‑known Trojan/downloader that often poses as a video codec and pulls down rogue/security scareware and browser‑hijacking components. Treat those alerts seriously, but follow a controlled cleanup flow rather than deleting entries at random. (encyclopedia.kaspersky.com)

Recommended, ordered actions to recover the PC safely: disconnect the machine from the Internet immediately; boot to Safe Mode (or Safe Mode with Networking if you must update tools); run RKill to stop malicious processes so scanners can run; run a full on‑demand scan with Malwarebytes and quarantine everything it finds; follow with an adware/hijacker scan (AdwCleaner) and a second‑opinion scanner if needed. If browser redirection or DLL injection remains, run a rootkit/boot‑level scanner (TDSSKiller or an offline rescue ISO) and consider collecting logs (HijackThis/FRST) for expert review. Back up personal files (documents, photos) before aggressive repairs. (bleepingcomputer.com)

Important cautions and next steps: do not run random “repair” installers from popups or pay unverified cleanup services; avoid editing the registry unless guided by an expert. Because this system is Windows XP (no longer supported by Microsoft), it will remain vulnerable even after cleaning—Microsoft ended XP support on April 8, 2014—so isolate or replace the OS as soon as possible. If the steps above do not fully remove the infection, a clean reinstall is the safest option; for help with logs or the next steps, use trusted communities (for example the Virus Removal sections on BleepingComputer) or the AV vendor support.
