I've run the free Sophos Anti-Virus, version 7.6.2. The result of the scan revealed two items: Mal/FakeAvCn-C and Mal/FakeAvCn-B. The items are in the Quarantine Manager. The Quarantine Manager is divided into three columns: Type, Name, and Details. Clicking on the name of each virus links to the web page to download the same free tool that I just used. Am I really supposed to download and run the same tool again?
Clicking on the first part of the details for each virus links to the ProgramData folder of the C drive, with the second one linking to a subfolder of the ProgramDate folder. Clicking on the second part of the details for each item, designated by "[more]", opens a window listing detected components of each item. At the bottom of the window is the message that a full computer scan is needed to detect all of its components. To what scanner does this refer? Am I supposed to run the same anti-virus again, or something else?
All I really want to do is to remove the both of them. None of the removal methods refer explicitly to Windows 7, which I find amazing. Any of the other methods describes a Quarantine Manager that differs from the one shown to me. The Quarantine Manager on my computer gives me only three actions to perform: Select all, Deselect all, and Clear from list. Does "Clear from list" mean remove/delete?
