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

    I am really ignorant as to how to remove this file. Would you please give me step-by-step instructions to follow? I have never fully installed the MacProtector, but I can find it when searching "Archive.pax.gz". I do use Safari and have the "Open safe files" preference checked. I have run two custom scans and still cannot get it off my quarantine list.
