The Zlob Trojan Downloader typically poses as audio or video codecs, required to be installed on your computer so you can watch or listen to certain media.
VirusRay is just the latest infection that downloads and installs rogue anti-spyware programs and displays fake security alerts in your Windows taskbar.
"When the Zlob infection downloads and installs VirusRay, VirusRay will automatically start and perform a scan of your computer. When done scanning, VirusRay will state that it found Trojans on your computer. The funny thing is that the Trojans VirusRay finds are the actual ones that were used to install it in the first place. In order to remove these Trojans, though, you will be required to purchase the full version of the software. This is obviously a scam and you should not purchase this software under any circumstances."
