how to remove osx/fakeav-dpu

MarkMacFadyen

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

    anti-malware.zip auto-deletes if you are using Safari and have "Open safe files" enabled in the preferences.  It expands to MacProtector.mpkg.

    Archive.pax.gz resides inside the MacProtector.mpkg installer bundle.

    If you remove the mpkg file, that should be all you need to do.
