Manual Cleanup of Virus

I cannot figure out any way to execute a manual (cleanup command does not work) to remove a Troj/Agent TTL from my hard drive. Any help would be appreciated as Sophos Tech Support totally blew me off.

Thanks

  • I cannot make the manual cleanup work either. I have tried all three sets of directions. Tech support also blew me off. Help if you can. Pac2

  • I wrote to Sophos regarding the threats found on my system.  They just refered me to this site as well.  I'm taking my computer to someone that will help me with 

    this issue- Not too happy with being given the brush off by the company.

    Troj/Agent-TTL is Windows malware.  As such, if you make a note of the file path in the Quarantine  Manager, disable on-access scanning, throw the file at that location in the trash, emty the trash, then re0enable on-access scanning, you should be good to go.

    Manual cleanup should also work -- it involves creating a custom scan including the path to the malicious file, selecting "delete" instead of "clean up" as the action to take, and then running the scan.  If you need help with a specific set of instructions provided in the in-app help, the online help, or on this website, please ask for help on this forum, referencing the instructions you are attempting to follow.
