  • Hello ginnpr,

    trying to do a download - but would not complete

    if you did run the tool then the download must have completed?

    Anyway - please post the log - which contains the details of the detection - here (it's in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sophos\Sophos Virus Removal Tool\Logs\SophosVirusRemovalTool.log).

  • Hi - I was trying to do a d/l from homepage - not sure what version that was or is - but then ran the one I had - V2.1 and got file that could not be deleted.  Will send log file - cannot locate the Application Data under documents and settings

  • Hello ginnpr,

    cannot locate the Application Data

    it's a hidden folder. In Explorer's menu bar select Tools -> Folder options ... tab View, pane Advanced settings: a little bit down there's Hidden files and folders with two radio buttons. Select - naturally - Show hidden files and folders.

    HTH

  • Thanks again for the reply - am using IE8 - when click on tools - there is no folder options to go to!!!  I am sure I am missing something!!!

  • Hello ginnpr,

    not IE but Explorer, the program that opens My Computer, My Documents and so on - guess you used it when you first searched for the logs. Another option is clicking Start->Run (or entering Windows Logo+R) and paste the path (including the double quotes) "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sophos\Sophos Virus Removal Tool\Logs\" into the dialog box.

  • I ran a full scan with MalWare and the only detected file it found was "PUP.BUNDLE.ORRERS.HQ - not sure why it

    didn't pick up the Trojan Zapcas-AE - I did send log file -

    Thanks again!!!!!

    :29289
  • Hello ginnpr,

    the log doesn't seem to be complete as it should at least contain a time-stamped line saying Scan completed (preceded by the details of the detections if applicable). So there should be at least something about the file you've mentioned in it.

  • Thanks - I will try running it again - as I mentioned it did say could not remove -  If latest version is 2.1 why is d/l 2.0

    :29357
  • AM ATTACHING THE LOG FILE THAT WAS RUN ON THE 10th - IT IS COMPLETE WITH LISTING FOR "ZAPCAS-AE"  - THANKS FOR ANYHELP!!!!
