I just googled the virus,was led to this page, am having the exact same
problem.In CA Yahoo Anti-Spy,the virus is called Konvoy B,with
absolutely no practical removal instructions that can be
understood.Although it could just be my computer,many anti-malware
sites and their forums are inaccessible,as well as Notepad.exe and
msnmsgr.exe failing on activation,immediately.AntiSpywareMaster is
advertised continuously while surfing FireFox,even when in Safe Mode.
I'll help in any ways I can,but please help me get this infection off
of my computer.
Just as well,I am running a Vista with Zone Alarm Security Suite with
all of the newest updates.

Again,I am posting only what I'm told by ZA.

Win32.Trojan.Spy.Agent.kb has been an issue with my network. First
indications I had a problem was the inability to "send" email. Email
on two of the computers on the network is hosted on Comcast servers,
who finally killed my email port and my ability to send email due to
the massive amounts of email going through my system. It appears that
this virus opened the door for unsolicited email ("spam") to be sent
through one of the network computers. I've since re-directed email to
be sent through another port and email once again is functional.

Both computers are updated daily with the latest ZA virus definitions
and email is scanned inbound and outbound. After running a ZA Spyware
scan, Win32.Trojan.Spy.Agent.kb surfaced on one computer only, this
one running Outlook Express.

After quarantined in ZA the trojan re-surfaced during the next scan.
So far I've re-quarantined AND deleted both in quarantine. Another
scan after re-boot showed a clean computer, however I realize the
probability of this returning is still relatively high. -smc
