how to remove osx/fakeav-dpu

MarkMacFadyen over 14 years ago

Hello,

I just started using Sophos and like the product. It found a number of viruses on my computer, including:

OSX/FakeAV-DPU

Mal/VB-JM

W32/Hostinf-A

I tried having them automatically deleted upon detection, but this was not possible. I tried to manually clean with a custom scan, but this also failed. The action available is now "clean up manually", but I'm not sure how to do this. I tried searching for the filename specified to delete it, but my search doesn't turn anything up, even when I specify to also search for hidden files. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have made sure the drive has read/write access to all users.

Best Wishes,

Mark MacFadyen

Hi Andrew,
I found one under /Downloads/MacProtector.mpkg which was easily deleted. I still have two I can't find
Archive.pax.gz
anti-malware.zip
/Downloads/anti-malware.zip. ( I can't find these either.)
/Applications/MacProtector.app (I can't find these either. )
I found MacProtector but a pop up quickly says "You can't open the application "macProtector" because it is not supported on this architrecture" and wants me to hit OK.
