alban 0 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi Thanks for any help. Did scan with A2 free and it found 2 Trojans. I cleaned one (it was before reading the directions here!). But Trojan.ATRAPS!IK seems to persist in an old game file 'OldOblivion' and A2 couldn't clean because it was write-protected. Dunno if it's a false pos? I CC'd things then ran the progs you suggest and saved the logs. The A2 log is before all that was done. Link to post Share on other sites
Lynx 34 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi alban , welcome to the forum The malware fighter will review log files you've attached. The signatures are outdated. Please update a-squared and produce fresh Deep Scan report (you posted the Smart one). Explicitly choose the Deep type of scan Close all browser session and run CCleaner prior to scanning as per instruction. You have may cookies detections They are harmless and never representing threats. They shoud've been removed by CCleaner. The flaggings of oldblivion.exe and oldblivion.dll, belonging to the game could be False Positives, so if they are still flagged by a2 after rerunning the scan – irrespectively submit to EMSI developers for analysis from the detection list Provide brief description of system's misbehaviour if any My regards Link to post Share on other sites
