Virus detected but not deleted

My anti virus program (Sophos) has identified a virus, but cannot be removed. It's a Mac using OS X El Capitan. What can I do?

Anti-virus programs are not necessary on a Mac. There is no known virus capable of attacking OS X. AV apps are a cure for a disease that does not exist. They often produce false positives. Uninstalling Sophos. It is possible that you have some adware. I download and run MalwareBytes to make sure. It was developed by one of our colleagues here to ASC. He received rave reviews and is on the more proven anti-malware for Mac software.

  • Anti-Virus detects but removes no adware/malware

    Hello

    I have a Readynas RN102 with 6.4.1. firmware. I have more installed anti-virus. Today it started to detect Adware (W32 / Adware.DEZV - 3749 or NsCPUMiner32.exe) and Bitcoinminer Trojan (W64Adware.DEZV - 3749 - NsCPUMiner64.exe). Both were hidden in a file called Info.zip.

    Because I couldn't see the files in the management web page / share (even when displaying of hidden files) I changed the anti-virus more to 'Action - Delete' setting and a scheduled scan. He had tested and found the files, but in log files, he repeats that I have to delete the infected file yourself.

    Any help on:

    -log file: why does not say what is it deleted the file or not

    -display and by deleting files myself manually

    -a specific malware / adware removal app for the ReadyNas

    Thanks in advance,

    Jan

    HA Kodhee,

    Thank you. I always keep my antivirus updated. So maybe this is the reason why no virus is detected (asuming it was a false alarm as well).

    I did what you suggested and selected / unselected files of several cards that were "infected" files It was an hour ago, and I don't have any message. More than my scan that I had planned this evening.

    I'll keep my fingers crossed and do a final check tomorrow morning.

  • iPod nano detected but not recognized, why?

    My wife has an ipod Nano 7 G. We have 10 Windows and iTunes 12.3.3.17. It worked fine for months. But today it has plugged his ipod, and he wiped all the music on the ipod, suffice it to say that she is not happy. She then unplugged, plugged in, and now she is ' ipod detected, but is not recognized.

    I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes. I followed the process to update the driver. But it still does not work. What else can I do to make it work again. In its current form the ipod (just a few months) is essentially useless.

  • Find files on the data store that have been removed from inventory, but not deleted from the disk

    I have ESXi 4.1 and with vSphere Client to manage virtual machines.

    Some of my users continue to use the 'remove from inventory"rather than the option" remove disc "in vSphere when they want to delete the virtual machine.

    This leaves the computer virtual on the data store but not used. I have since removed this privilege among the offending users but I need to do a bit of cleaning.

    I have a lot of files on the data store where users have done this in recent years. Probably about 150 records but only 80 VM listed in the inventory.

    Is there a way I can output, a report showing the data of each machine store directory in inventory so that I can remove anything not on this list? ID rather not to manually check the parameters of all 80 VM in the inventory.

    Out ideal would be something like:

    MyVmNameHere 1, \MyVmDirectoryHere1\ [DataStore1]

    MyVmNameHere2, \MyVmDirectoryHere2\ [DataStore1]

    A great tool to discover all this and much more is RVTools

  • Microphone detected but not windows do not receive sounds?

    I use windows 7 Sony Vaio laptop.  My laptop detects the internal mic, but also all other microphones. But it is not picking up all the sounds. My external microphones are working perfect with all the other PCs and mobile devices. I tried the solutions for the following problems, but nothing has worked.

    1. the microphone is close enough to pick up voices. Make sure that the microphone is positioned close enough and you speak directly into it.
    2. the microphone is muted. Some microphones have an external control for muting. Make sure that the mute control is disabled.
    3. the microphone input level is too low. Make sure that the microphone input level is set correctly.
    4. the microphone connections are not properly attached.
    5. a different microphone is selected to be used with speech recognition.

    Help, please.

  • j6410 over wifi is detected but not settled it on Win7 with the new installation of OJJ6400_Full_13.exe

    Dear all,

    I try to install my printer all in one HP Officejet J6410 (connected to an access point) wireless to my HP Pavilion dv5-1155eg laptop running Windows 7 Professional (ENG). I am trying to install using the new "HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver" (OJJ6400_Full_13.exe) for the specified printer. ""

    The rest of the HP software installation succeeded it. I am able to see the web interface of the printer from my browser. In the past, before the release of this new driver I could even print wirelessly, using the base driver provided by Win7.

    What fails is the installation of the printer itself:

    I use the software to 'Add a device' the HP that successfully locates my printer wireless in the screen "found network printers." I selects the printer, press 'Next', Network Diagnostics seems to run ok and then start the installation of the printer, it is firstly says 'printer detected... ". "but she eventually fails with the message:" printer setup is not complete - click Retry to try install again... blah blah. "

    To make richer information, I use a firewall of G Data Internet Security 2010 that I followed him and I can see that it is not blocking anything. I even tried installing with the firewall disabled, anyway...

    In addition, I tested my printer with HP Network Diagnostic Utility. The utility comes with all the information correctly (network configuration, configuration of the computer, HP printer running services, found wireless).

    Any help is appreciated to make it work because it's a major drawback, as you can understand...

    Thank you in advance...

    Thanks for the reply, but that was not the solution... As I mentioned earlier, I had tried in the first place without the firewall installation.

    But, I found a good solution to the problem, and because it might be useful to others I write it here:

    After the movie with the help of HP without success, I managed to find a workaround for the problem:

    1. I uninstalled everyhting about printer software/drivers & restarted windows.
    2. I installed the begin shape everything (the file I downloaded on the site of HP), using the USB option this time and not a wireless.
    3. RESTART WINDOWS (sucks bigtime - respect for unix/linux "reboot is for material changes!")
    4. After you have installed successfully with the USB cable, I chose the option 'Configure wireless settings' Installer extracted files resulting from the file I downloaded frrm the HP site (if after installation, the installer window is closed you will need to locate the extracted in your Temp folder files or just run the file again..). Just follow the instructions of the installer.
    5. This should make the thing! REBOOT (again) and you're ready to go!
    6. (OPTIONAL) For me, the installer actually worked at the last moment, where he stuck permanently. But that was ok, because it's stuck after you set up the printer and corresponding software. After some time, the installer came out with the usual submit an evaluation form. Just ignore it, reboot and everyhting should work. At least it did for me...

  • Tecra M5 - external monitor detected but not image

    Hello

    I just bought Tecra M5 for use with my external NEC monitor. However, regardless of the configuration, I try I get no image on the monitor. The LED on the monitor indicates that it receives the signal from the laptop but the monitor remains black pitch. The monitor works obviously very well, I just disconnected from another laptop.

    I tried all possible settings in the nVidia control panel, but without success. I also changed "Power On Display" in the BIOS "Screen LCD + Analog RGB" but no luck either.

    I have v.3.70 of BIOS and graphics card drivers v.7.15.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you
    Mike

    PS When I press Fn + F5, I have no options to choose from, unlike the other FN +... combinations. I don't know that it should be everything, but it is perhaps worth mentioning.

    Also when I select only 'use a view' of the nVidia control panel and select my NEC monitor in the list, the monitor turns on and the light turns green, but the screen is still black. Like I can't accept changes the output switches to the computer screen after a few seconds.

    Hello

    I think you should test with the preinstalled Toshiba operating system.
    After that the laptop was recovered, connect the external monitor and use the FN + F5 in order to detect the external display.
