			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a very long time, my system was affected by a Virus!! Only, i never knew it was a virus in the first place!</p>
<p>What started happening was that my system would crash, and the blue screen of death (BSOD) would appear whenever i did certain actions, like adjust the volume when playing youtube videos, run a search for any file on the system or even conduct a system scan with an anti-virus software. (P.S. <em>Norton Anti Virus and Internet Security sucks</em> <u><strong>big time</strong></u>, use either Kaspersky or BitDefender)</p>
<p>The message on the blue screen was &#8220;<em>A driver has over-run a stack-based buffer. This over-run could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this machine</em>&#8221; and the BCCode was 7F. Armed with this information, i set out to search the internet and find out if other people are having the same problem. I discovered that lately, its become quite an epidemic and is the sign of a new virus on the loose. A trojan by the name of Zlob!</p>
<p>What you need to do to remove it, is search for tdidrv.sys file in %windows%\system32 folder and delete it. (Bitdefender reports it as a rootkit, when it finally did detect it) and search your registry for its entry and delete it as well. (Located at  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<strong>tdidrv32.sys)</strong></p>
<p>Alternatively you could use malwarebyte&#8217;s anti-malware to clean the system for you.</p>
