If the ASecurityAssurance.com website automatically loads when you launch Internet Explorer, then I’d like to inform you that you’ve been infected by a trojan called Zlob.
You might even get popup from your tray bar warning you that you’ve been infected by Win32@mx trojan.
asecurityassurance.com is a dangerous hijacker which is comes from Trojan.Zlob spyware. These kind of hijackers displays a fake warning message such as, W32.Myzor.fk@yf warning message to purchase the paid version of rogue security applications (for example; VirusProtectPro, MalwareBurn, VirusRanger and so on.,). Once the Trojan.Zlob installed, it drops many spyware applications to hijacked your homepage. Not only this, It also displays fake flashing warning alerts on your system tray.
If your computer is infected by Trojan.Zlob and hijacked by the asecurityassurance.com then your computer is in trouble because it does transfer back and forth information from the infected computer which makes it a potential for application/data theft.
Fortunately, there are free automatic removal tool to clean Zlob trojan without any effort.
