I recently downloaded Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac. After a few missteps, I discovered some great help in this forum on how to create a custom scan to remove a threat. (You can find it here at 01-02-2011 12:25 AM by the way.) Using that help, I quickly managed to delete 8 of 9 threats.
However, I have one threat that I'm having trouble finding, let alone deleting. It's the Mal/EncPk-FX. In the threat details box, the path and file name lists 18 separate Time Machine backups as well as the "Original Locations," which included one location on my hard drive and one Time Machine backup on the same external drive as the other Time Machine backups just mentioned.
I have run custom scans on the "Original Locations" and on the last of the 18 backups listed (or at least I think they are the ones listed). That leaves 17 more to go. I have yet to detect and remove the Malware just mentioned.
One final bit of information: I have a Windows virtual machine on my Mac, using Fusion. Because the Sophos' information on Mal/EncPk-FX indicates that two of its aliases refer to Win32, I ran an AVG on my virtual Windows machine and found nothing.
So with all of that, can anyone help me figure out how to clean up this virus/Malware manually? I'm having no luck at all.
Thanks,
