Hi Howelljo,

Zone Alarm Firewall won't remove viruses or Trojans, you'll need
to use an antivirus software such as Trend Micro's offering or any
of the other companies such as: AVG, Symantec, McAfee, etc.

Ideally, you can google for Tilebot removal instructions and clean
your system manually or using some of the utilities available such as:
