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

    Hi there I ran a scan - and even though teh name archive.pax.gz showed up while the search was running - at the end it said "no threats detected" - does that mean its not on hte computer? I checked the downloads section but couldnt find the folder name MacProtector.mpkg - is there anywhere else it could be or does it mean its not on the computer?
    Thanks
