What's Zlob Trojan?
Zlob Trojan is a backdoor Trojan which can give an anonymous attacker remote control over your PC. With Zlob Trojan, this attacker can download and install malware and other files onto your computer, without your knowledge. Zlob Trojan also lets the attacker execute commands on your PC, so that the attacker can gain control of your system and disable your security. Zlob Trojan puts your personal and financial information at risk.
When you’re infected with Zlob Trojan, Zlob Trojan may try to contact Vnp7s.net, zxserv0.com, and/or dumpserv.com to receive commands. Unless identity theft sounds like weekend fun, delete Zlob.

Note: In any files I mention above, "%System" is a variable referring to your PC's System folder. Maybe you renamed it, but by default your System folder is "C:\Windows\System32" on Windows XP, "C:\Winnt\System32" on Windows NT/2000," or "C:\Windows\System" on Windows 95/98/Me.
"%Program_Files", "%ProgramFiles", or "%Profile" is a variable referring to a folder in your PC where applications that aren't a part of your PC's operating system are installed by default. You may have changed this folder's name or moved it, but if you didn't touch it, find the folder as "C:\Program Files". If you're having trouble finding this folder, you can locate it by looking up registry value "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir".
Also, "%UserProfile" is a variable referring to your current user's profile folder. If you're using Windows NT/2000/XP, by default this is "C:\Documents and Settings\[CURRENT USER]" (e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\JoeSmith").
Zlob Trojan changed your homepage?
Click Windows Start menu > Control Panel > Internet Options. Next, under Home Page, select the General > Use Default. Type in the URL you want as your home page (e.g., "http://www.homepage.com"). Then select Apply > OK. You'll want to open a fresh web page and make sure that your new default home page pops up.

It's also recommended before you manually remove Zlob Trojan you backup your system.
